OFFERS DUE TUESDAY 10/14 8AM. In the heart of Irvine’s famed Woodbridge community, in the boutique neighborhood known as The Grove, and with a backyard gate that opens directly to Ashford Park (with its pool, spas, sport courts, play equipment, and green space) is this SINGLE STORY end-unit home that combines convenience, privacy, and character. Inside, this isn’t a cookie-cutter tract house! Architectural details set it apart — from arched passageways and plank-and-beam ceilings, to a distinctive fireplace with warm wood accents and low-maintenance brick paver flooring playfully sprinkled with colorful tile inlays. Natural light pours in through skylights, while a wraparound yard — designed to feel like an atrium — is visible from the living room, kitchen, and primary suite. The result is a super private outdoor retreat that brings the beauty of the outdoors in, perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing at home. The primary bedroom has an ensuite, freshly remodeled bath featuring dual vanities, quartz counters, and brand-new cabinetry as well as a huge walk-in closet. The secondary bath was updated with the same finishes for a consistent, stylish look. A versatile den space offers an ideal extra area, which could function as a home office, fitness or reading room, or enclose it into a true third bedroom. Fresh paint and new bedroom carpet give the home a bright, welcoming feel right away, while a direct-access 2-car garage and gated front courtyard add everyday convenience and security. As part of Woodbridge, residents enjoy access to two landmark lakes, over 20 pools and spas, tennis, playgrounds, and miles of trails — plus award-winning Irvine schools. With all these great details on a single story, this rare Woodbridge find combines thoughtful updates, timeless character, and one of the most desirable locations in Irvine into a home you can enjoy for the rest of your life!
