    What's special

    Commanding one of the most coveted settings within the exclusive guard-gated enclave of Turtle Rock Summit, this extraordinary estate features five en-suite bedrooms and occupies an exceptional front-row homesite - arguably one of the community’s finest. Privately positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a single-loaded street bordering a protected nature preserve, the residence captures unobstructed 180-degree panoramic views spanning the cityscape, rolling hills, and distant mountains. Sunlit vistas transition to sparkling city lights, nightly Disneyland fireworks, and majestic Fourth of July displays, creating a breathtaking backdrop from sunrise through evening. Thoughtfully reimagined with a sophisticated contemporary aesthetic, the home balances grand scale with effortless livability. Soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and an open-concept floor plan fill the interiors with natural light while framing spectacular views from nearly every main living space. Enhancements include two new high-efficiency Lennox HVAC systems with all-new attic ductwork, a tankless water heater, 400-amp electrical panel, whole-home smart lighting, professional-grade network and security systems, and upgraded kitchen appliances. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, anchored by an oversized waterfall island, premium appliances, and a seamless connection to the family room and dining spaces - ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Resort-inspired grounds offer exceptional privacy and feature a sparkling pool and spa, expansive patios, generous lawn areas, mature landscaping, artificial turf, and approximately 4,400 square feet of Caldera Blanca travertine spanning the rear grounds, pool deck, and second-level balcony. The luxurious primary suite enjoys sweeping city-light views, a sitting area, fireplace, spa-inspired marble bath, and exceptional custom dressing room. Three additional upstairs en-suite bedrooms and a versatile bonus room provide flexibility for family, guests, or a media lounge, while a private main-level en-suite bedroom is ideal for visitors or multigenerational living. Additional highlights include a dedicated laundry room, attached three-car garage & spacious gated motor court. Moments from award-winning Irvine schools, scenic trails, premier shopping and dining, world-class golf, UCI, and Orange County’s beautiful beaches, this remarkable estate presents an extraordinary opportunity in one of Irvine’s most prestigious communities.
