Wow!~ Wait'll you see this single story Hacienda's architectural beauty...it begins with the front door and simply doesn't quit! Long term owner has remodeled every inch of this home with bright colors that are reflective of the warm, lively culture found in Mexico & Spain. Hacienda's are famous for their courtyards or "patio de rey" as they are called and this home is true to its genre with three patios in all. Tired of the same old bland remodels you've seen? Looking for something utterly unique, then this home is it! Let's get back to basics, you've got 3 beds, 2 baths located on a unique corner lot totally DETACHED in a neighborhood in which all homes are attached; a rare animal indeed! Enter your front courtyard to the rustic, old world solid wood door with iron grate and the terracotta tiled floors throughout. Both bathrooms have floor to ceiling tiled in showers and counters with hand painted Talavera sinks. Complete kitchen remodel (including opening up the wall to the dining room) with tiled counters and real wood cabinets (no press wood, here)! Don’t miss all the custom kitchen cabinet pull outs either. That’s not all, there’s a built in TV stand & dresser in the master bedroom and bathroom. All of this beauty is highlighted with added recessed lighting, huge vaulted wood beamed ceilings, added ceiling fans and windows galore. Just wow! Who isn’t looking for privacy? This home has it in spades. The first bedroom overlooks your front courtyard, bedroom two (currently set up as an office) faces the interior courtyard/ atrium, and the master bedroom faces the third and largest tiled courtyard that backs to a wide open greenbelt, sans a neighbor. This has to be the ultimate in privacy! The added bonus? A majestic 35 year old Chinese Elm combines aesthetic beauty and shade with a soothing three tiered fountain. Who would've thought that right here in cookie cutter Irvine one could find a home such as this hidden away? If you're looking for something special, you’ll find it here because 4525 Sandburg is the definition thereof!~
