Located in the highly sought-after Villas at Rancho San Joaquin, this tastefully updated corner-unit residence offers the feel of a detached home with no neighbors above or below, a gated front courtyard, and direct access to an attached two-car garage. Situated on an interior corner surrounded by mature landscaping, the home showcases soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and an open-concept floor plan filled with natural light. The dramatic living room is anchored by a white brick fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining area, where sliding glass doors open to a private courtyard, extending the living space outdoors. The remodeled kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with quartz countertops, new hardware, a built-in beverage refrigerator, a deep Moen stainless-steel sink and faucet. The stylish main-level powder room offers quartz countertops, a statement vessel sink, and warm brushed-gold fixtures. Fresh interior paint, designer lighting fixtures, and new door hardware throughout create a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a beautifully renovated bathroom featuring a custom vanity with quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, an updated mirror, modern lighting, and new flooring. The spacious primary suite offers an oversized wall-to-wall closet, while dual-pane windows upstairs enhance comfort and energy efficiency. Additional highlights include built-in garage storage cabinets, a 220-volt outlet ready for EV charging, a Smart thermostat, and Toto bidet toilets in both bathrooms. Residents enjoy resort-style amenities, including a sparkling pool and spa, while the HOA covers water, trash, sewer, exterior maintenance, and landscaping. The community's tree-lined streets and beautifully maintained grounds create a picturesque setting just moments from Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course, Racquet Club of Irvine, Mason Regional Park, UC Irvine, premier shopping and dining, and within the award-winning Irvine Unified School District. This home also benefits from no Mello-Roos. Combining thoughtful updates, an exceptional floor plan, and an unbeatable location, this is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home in one of Irvine's best-kept secrets.
