What's special
PRICED REDUCED TO SELL FAST! A RARE opportunity to own the only 4-Bedroom + Bonus Room condo in the highly desirable University Town Center area. No other property in this neighborhood offers this layout, making it truly One-of-a-Kind. Located in the top-ranked Irvine Unified School District, this renovated home is surrounded by some of Irvine’s best-performing schools —all within walking or biking distance. University High School is located across the street, consistently ranked among the top 3 high schools in Irvine and a recipient of the National Blue Ribbon & California Gold Ribbon School Awards. Turtle Rock Elementary, also ranked in Irvine’s top 3 elementary schools, is a short walk away & Rancho San Joaquin Middle School, another top performing school is nearby. IUSD school bus service is available to this address—a RARE advantage not offered to all residents. UC Irvine is just ¼ mile away & Concordia is only 2.5 miles down the road, offering strong appeal to families, faculty, or investors. Both the current & previous owners rented rooms to students, generating above-average rental income. This updated 2-story private end unit lives like a single-family home. The flexible floorplan includes 2 upstairs en-suite bedrooms, 2 downstairs bedrooms & 3 full baths. Upstairs bonus room w/built-in wardrobe cabinets provides additional flex space. Attached 2-car garage offers safe direct access, built-in storage & closets, attic space & laundry area. Large interior storage closet beneath the stairs for additional storage. The open-concept kitchen features a breakfast bar w/built-in cabinetry & newer stainless appliances (including a 5-burner gas stove w/removable griddle), flows into the dining area & private enclosed patio yard—ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or pets. Soaring ceilings, skylights & fresh interior paint create a bright, airy atmosphere thru-out. Additional upgrades include wood laminate floors, Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System, Central A/C & a Whole-house fan for energy-efficient cooling. Community amenities include 2 pools/spas, tennis & basketball courts & playgrounds. Mason Park, a 339-acre outdoor haven with lakes, hiking/biking trails & an amphitheater is located across from the community. Whether searching for a primary residence in a premier school district or a high-demand investment opportunity, this home delivers exceptional value. Homes like this are rarely available—and when they are, they don’t last.
