About This Home
As of September 2025Welcome to 72 English Saddle – where thoughtful design meets modern luxury in the coveted 24-hour guard-gated community of The Groves at Orchard Hills. This tastefully upgraded 4-bedroom + loft, 3.5-bathroom home features a highly functional layout, including a desirable downstairs bedroom with en-suite bath and a spacious upstairs loft perfect for a home office, playroom, or media lounge.
The open-concept great room (with option to expand into the yard for extra living space) and gourmet kitchen offer an efficient and elegant living space, enhanced by engineered hardwood floors, quartz countertops, a large center island, and commercial-style KitchenAid appliances – including a built-in 42” refrigerator. Custom Smith & Noble window treatments and designer interior paint add a sophisticated touch, while plush upgraded carpeting creates a cozy atmosphere in the bedrooms and loft.
The tranquil primary suite features a remote-controlled shade and spa-inspired bath. Additional upgrades include a Samsung front-load washer and dryer set on pedestal drawers, and a fully finished garage with epoxy flooring, Gladiator wall systems, and Topprax ceiling racks.
Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with a California room and professionally designed backyard featuring travertine tile, low-maintenance landscaping, and a Rainbird WiFi-controlled drip irrigation system. A valuable builder upgrade provides the option to convert the California Room into additional indoor living or dining space, offering future flexibility and expanded usability.
Built with efficiency in mind, this home is powered by a Tesla 8kW solar system with 24 panels (owned free & clear) two Tesla Powerwall batteries, and a One Water whole-house filtration system with scale prevention technology.
Ideally located near resort-style amenities – including pools, parks, hiking trails, and tennis courts – and zoned for top-rated Tustin Unified schools such as Beckman High, this move-in ready residence offers the perfect blend of smart living and timeless style in one of Irvine’s most prestigious enclaves.
