Single-story opportunity in Irvine’s prestigious Turtle Rock Terrace President neighborhood. Set on an expansive 11,560 sq ft lot, this detached ranch-style home offers 2,384 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an attached direct-access 3-car garage. Well-maintained and largely original, it’s a rare blank canvas ready for a buyer to personalize, update, or reimagine, with room to expand and add real value. From the covered entry to the light-filled interior, this home delivers scale and lot size that are increasingly hard to find in Irvine. Vaulted ceilings and walls of windows create an open, airy feel throughout. Formal living and dining rooms offer generous space for entertaining, while the family room, anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, opens to the backyard. The kitchen features ample cabinetry, extensive counter space, a garden window, and a functional layout. Multiple French doors enhance the indoor-outdoor flow. The spacious primary suite enjoys backyard views, mirrored wardrobes, a dual-sink vanity, and en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms flex for guests, work, or hobbies. A guest half-bath serves the main living areas. Additional highlights include an interior laundry room with built-in storage, wood-look flooring in the bedrooms, and tile throughout the main living spaces. The backyard is a true standout. A covered patio spans much of the rear, ideal for dining and entertaining. Mature trees, including fruit trees such as pomegranate and lemon, expansive lawn, garden beds, and no direct rear neighbors create a private, peaceful setting. Turtle Rock Terrace is one of the area’s original single-family neighborhoods, known for generous lots, mature landscaping, and scenic hillside surroundings, with community pools, tennis and sport courts, picnic areas, and clubhouse.
