About this home

Set within the prestigious 24-hour guard-gated community of The Groves at Orchard Hills, this beautifully appointed Varenna residence by Tri Pointe Homes offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, an expansive upstairs loft, and 2,719 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Built in 2020, the home combines timeless Modern Spanish architecture, sophisticated upgrades, and a highly desirable floor plan with a private first-floor en-suite bedroom. A light-filled great room and conservatory dining area flow seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen, featuring white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops and full-height backsplash, a generous center island with seating, six-burner gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator. Engineered hardwood flooring, plantation shutters, custom window treatments, and LED recessed lighting add warmth and refinement throughout the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a large walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, a versatile loft ideal for a second living area or home office, and a dedicated laundry room complete the upper level. Sliding doors extend the living space outdoors to a covered California Room and professionally landscaped backyard, creating an inviting setting for al fresco dining, entertaining, and year-round indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtful upgrades include a fully paid-off solar system, Diamond Pure whole-house water filtration and softening system, reverse-osmosis drinking water, tankless water heater with hot-water recirculation, and Low-E dual-pane windows. Residents of The Groves enjoy resort-style amenities including pools, spa, clubhouse, sport courts, playgrounds, parks, and scenic trails, all with convenient access to Orchard Hills shopping and dining, award-winning Orchard Hills School and Beckman High, and major transportation corridors. Turnkey, beautifully upgraded, and ideally situated, 52 English Saddle offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy one of Irvine's most sought-after communities.
