Welcome to this light-filled single-story Hanover model nestled in the tranquil community of University Park that seamlessly blends architectural character with vibrant indoor-outdoor living. From the moment you step inside, soaring vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and large windows pull natural light deep into the home, illuminating the expansive living and dining areas anchored by a striking dual-sided brick fireplace. Newer light-plank vinyl flooring flows throughout the main living spaces, guiding you toward the home’s beloved central atrium, a private brick-paved courtyard accessible via sliding glass doors that acts as a massive skylight for the interior. The bright, functional kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, a gas cooktop, and a large picture window overlooking the front garden. True Southern California living is realized as almost every sunlight bathed primary room, including the vaulted primary bedroom suite, offers direct outdoor access. The private backyard patio is framed by mature landscaping and a stunning bougainvillea, complete with a back gate that opens directly onto the expansive community greenbelt, extending your outdoor oasis while you enjoy access to University Park’s pools, tennis courts, and shaded walking paths. Ideally situated in the heart of University Park, this home offers a premier Irvine location that balances quiet residential charm with exceptional urban access. Residents enjoy direct proximity to the community’s signature greenbelts and walking paths, leading seamlessly to the 347-acre William R. Mason Regional Park and the University Park Center for local dining and essentials. The home is anchored by the top-tier Irvine Unified School District, including the award-winning University High School, and sits just minutes from the UC Irvine campus. With swift access to the 405 freeway and 73 toll road, this location provides a rare “best-of-both-worlds” scenario: a tranquil, tree-shrouded retreat that remains centrally connected to Orange County’s major employment hubs and coastal attractions.
