About this home
Situated on a private cul-de-sac atop Turtle Rock Crest, this custom New England-inspired residence with classic Colonial influences commands an exceptional setting framed by mature landscaping and approximately 180 feet of unobstructed panoramic views stretching across Irvine’s natural reserve, rolling hills, seasonal greenery, and sparkling city lights. From the moment you enter, a dramatic two-story foyer and soaring ceilings create an immediate sense of scale and architectural presence. The entry opens gracefully into the formal living and dining rooms, where refined details including designer lighting, custom millwork, wainscoting, Venetian plaster accents, limestone, and rich wood flooring lend warmth and character throughout the home. The main level is thoughtfully designed for both sophisticated entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Formal and casual gathering spaces flow naturally throughout the home, complemented by a dedicated office, sunroom, and a downstairs bedroom offering flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. The kitchen was thoughtfully designed with extensive custom cabinetry, a substantial center island, breakfast area, and butler’s pantry, creating a space that is both functional and inviting. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite serves as a private retreat, offering generous proportions, abundant storage, and a private balcony positioned to capture serene hillside views, morning light, and sunsets. Additional bedrooms are comfortably arranged to provide privacy for family and guests while maintaining the home’s sense of openness and scale. The backyard is designed for true Southern California indoor-outdoor living. Multiple entertaining areas include a built-in barbecue, refrigeration, sink, outdoor dining space, gas fire pit, private Jacuzzi, and gazebo, all set against a remarkably private natural backdrop. Beyond the landscaped grounds, the property opens toward more than 300 acres of contiguous open space, with direct access to nearby hiking trails—creating a sense of privacy and connection to nature rarely found in Irvine. Turtle Rock Crest is prized for its elevated setting, mature landscape, quiet streets, access to trails and open space, and proximity to highly regarded Irvine schools. Residents also enjoy convenient access to beaches, major freeways, and the world-class shopping and dining of Fashion Island.
Turtle Rock Crest, located between University Drive and Turtle Rock Drive, is a hillside and residential Irvine neighborhood with ridgeline views and winding greenbelts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Turtle Rock Community Park and the nearby Turtle Rock Drive corridor, where trailheads, courts, and a calm, outdoors-forward rhythm set the tone. Architectural lines lean toward low-slung, late-20th-century homes with generous setbacks and mature landscaping. Streets climb and curve toward open-space edges, with pocket parks and cul-de-sacs shaping a quieter pace. The San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary adds a nature-first backdrop of wetlands paths and birdlife. UC Irvine and Mason Regional Park sit close by, keeping daily routines tied to campus energy and broad lawns.
