About this home

A remarkable opportunity to lease a single-level home in the heart of Turtle Rock, ideally situated directly across from a beautiful community park with sweeping green views and no neighbors directly in front or behind. This exceptional setting offers a rare combination of privacy, openness, and convenience in one of Irvine's most prestigious neighborhoods. The home is just a five-minute drive to University of California, Irvine, approximately a ten-minute walk to University High School, and only a five-minute walk to Turtle Rock Elementary School. Inside, the thoughtfully designed floor plan offers both comfort and flexibility. A welcoming living room with a fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the home, while an adjacent bonus space can function as a formal dining room, home office, library, or additional sitting area. The kitchen and dining area are positioned toward the rear of the home and open seamlessly to the backyard, creating an inviting flow for daily living and entertaining. All four bedrooms and two bathrooms are conveniently arranged on a single level, making the layout both practical and highly desirable. A private atrium and backyard provide multiple outdoor living spaces to enjoy throughout the year. Recent improvements include new luxury vinyl flooring and fresh interior paint throughout, a newer roof (2022), industrial-grade copper plumbing, updated sliding doors and windows throughout most of the home, a remodeled kitchen with new countertops, sink, dishwasher, oven, and tile finishes, and beautifully renovated bathrooms. Additional upgrades include a backyard patio cover, cement side patio, French drain in the atrium, enhanced backyard drainage, and a newer washer purchased in 2026. Surrounded by mature trees, scenic trails, parks, and award-winning schools, Turtle Rock offers a lifestyle that few Irvine communities can match. Combining an outstanding location, extensive upgrades, private outdoor spaces, and the ease of single-level living, this home represents a truly special offering in one of Orange County's most desirable neighborhoods.
