Newer construction (built in 2022), dramatic voluminous ceilings, two first-floor en suite bedrooms, and a versatile 5-bedroom-plus-loft floor plan define this exceptional residence in the gated community of The Oaks at Portola Hills. Designed for flexibility and modern living, the home blends fresh contemporary style with everyday comfort while offering the rare convenience of dual main-level suites. Under soaring ceilings, the great room opens through pocket sliding doors to the private backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a stone and porcelain mosaic backsplash, soft-close cabinetry, a large eat-in island, and a walk-in pantry plumbed for a beverage cooler. Commercial-grade KitchenAid appliances include a six-burner gas cooktop with built-in electric grill and two full built-in ovens-all complemented by a fireplace-warmed dining area with a custom lighted china cabinet finished with a granite top. Smart features include a motorized kitchen shade, solar screen at the California room, and three Enviroblind security shields-each with remote and manual operation. Waterproof rigid core luxury vinyl oak plank flooring, plantation shutters, and quartz finishes elevate the interiors. The main-level primary suite opens directly to the backyard and offers a spa-like bath with limestone slab-topped dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a freestanding soaking tub. Upstairs, an en suite bedroom functions as a second primary, while a loft/media room provides additional flexibility for entertaining or a home office. Two additional bedrooms-currently configured as offices-feature updated baths with quartz finishes and glass enclosures. The backyard combines stone and turf for a low-maintenance retreat. Additional highlights include seller-owned solar, Honeywell-controlled systems, EV charging, instant hot water call buttons, and two garages: a finished two-car garage plus a separate one-car garage. Residents enjoy resort-style amenities including a pool, clubhouse, BBQ area, dog parks, sports courts, and over 1.5 miles of hiking trails, with convenient access to the 241 Toll Road and proximity to Irvine Spectrum.
