Welcome to your very own tropical resort in the center of Irvine! Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the much sought-after Ranch community, this well-appointed single story home evokes the feel of a lush paradise. Beginning with the oversized 7,000-square-foot lot -- a rarity in Irvine -- the home incorporates a generous use of tropical landscaping, Mexican tile, and Brazilian cherry wood. And yet each room offers the space and convenience of a classically-built Orange County home. The front walkway and entrance are complemented by sago palms, fig trees, banana plants, a bird of paradise, two majestic palm trees and a big oak tree. At the left side of the formal entry, the living room features beautiful Brazilian cherry wood floor and a big window overlooking the greenery in the front yard. If you are an art collector, you will like the two low-wattage lamp outlets designed for your wall art pieces. The rest of the living area is underscored by Mexican Saltillo tiles. The family room is bathed in natural light, afforded by the two skylights at the top of the open-beamed ceiling. The separate dining room is highlighted by French doors opening towards the side yard. The best part is the kitchen. Intimately merged with the sunny backyard through two big picture windows, the kitchen boasts beautiful wood cabinets, sleek black appliances, a black sink, and hand-made white tiles on the counter tops. Step outside through the French doors and be transported to a serene tropical oasis lined in cool Mexican tile. This gorgeous outdoor space wraps around three sides of the home. The water fountain, the blue linen hammock and in-ground spa lend additional levels of tranquility. In the side yard, the tropical theme is transformed to a desert scene decorated by well-established euphorbia cacti where you can watch the moon and stars at night. Sweet dreams await in the master bedroom with Brazil cherry wood flooring. New carpeting has just been installed in the other two bedrooms. Built-in shelving in the third bedroom allows flexibility for a home office. The home has a new HVAC system, a newer roof and exterior paint, all upgraded in the past two years. This bit of paradise is a great home base for accessing the 5 and the 405 freeways. Enjoy life in this quiet community conveniently located near some of Orange County's best public schools, world-renowned universities, shopping centers and employers.
