About 4331 Rafael

In one of Irvine's most cherished neighborhoods, homes like this don't come along often. Thoughtfully updated, meticulously maintained, and designed for everyday living, 4331 Rafael Street blends timeless comfort with modern convenience in the heart of Greentree—a community known for its tree-lined streets, neighborhood traditions, and welcoming atmosphere.

This thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers approximately 1,782 square feet of living space on a generous 5,000-square-foot lot and features one of today's most sought-after floor plans with a main-level primary suite. Upstairs, three spacious secondary bedrooms provide flexibility for growing families, multigenerational living, guests, or a home office. Natural light fills the home, where soaring vaulted ceilings, a skylight, and recessed lighting create an open, airy feel. The upstairs bedrooms feature luxury vinyl flooring, while the spacious family room offers a cozy fireplace, custom built-in entertainment cabinetry, and elegant French doors that open to the backyard for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen features Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry with extensive pull-out storage, accent lighting, and a charming bay window. Whether enjoyed as-is or updated over time, it offers the perfect blend of functionality and opportunity. With so many major improvements already completed, the next owner can move right in while adding their own personal style. Major upgrades include a newer HVAC system and ductwork, tankless water heater, upgraded electrical panel, fully remodeled bathrooms, updated interior and exterior electrical outlets, and double-pane front-facing bedroom windows, providing lasting comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind.

Step outside to a private backyard with mature landscaping, an inviting patio, and a lawn expansive enough to explore adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or simply enjoying outdoor dining, children's play, pets, and entertaining. The charming front yard adds to the home's welcoming curb appeal.

Life in Greentree is about more than owning a home—it's about belonging to a true community. Residents enjoy neighborhood traditions, seasonal events, a community swim team, parks, greenbelts, and a community pool, all within walking distance of award-winning Greentree Elementary. Centrally located in Irvine, you're just minutes from shopping, dining, and major freeways.
