5 Carriage Drive, Irvine CA

Yes, Irvine does have newer home communities with NO association dues, and this is one of them. Located in a superb, highly-rated school district and just across the street from gorgeous Citrus Ranch Park whose huge hilltop gazebo offers glorious sunset views, this quality Amberwood home by Fieldstone has plenty of room to spread out inside. Guests can enjoy dinner in the formal dining space at the back of the living room, or kids on the way to school can have a quick breakfast in the family kitchen or at the center island breakfast counter. Upgraded with gleaming granite counters, custom diagonal backsplash and diagonally-laid tile floors, the kitchen opens right into a giant family room with rich dark laminate floors and recessed ceiling lighting. The upstairs master bedroom with designer ceiling fan has a luxurious bath suite with double sinks, a separate tub and shower with custom tile work, and a HUGE walk-in closet that will fit most anything! All three secondary bedrooms are spacious but this plan has a VERY popular feature: an enormous corner bedroom that could fit two queen beds! With summer here, it's a great time to invite your friends over for a barbecue in the private backyard, or put in an above-ground spa if that suits you, too. 5 minutes down the road is the huge Tustin Sportspark with endless exercise opportunities, or shopping a further 3 minutes away at the upscale Tustin Marketplace.
