A beautiful home in Irvine conveniently located near great shopping, top-rated schools, and idyllic parks...with NO MelloRoos! This gorgeous home has been lovingly updated with newer flooring, beautiful counter tops, and a relaxing oasis in the backyard. A main floor bedroom and an office that can be used as a fifth bedroom/guest room complete this home. While there is plenty of storage in this Hampton model there were cabinets installed in the garage for added space. Near enough to the ocean to catch Pacific breezes on the warmer afternoons and equipped with a charming fireplace for the cooler months, this is a place to call home.
