Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the gated community of Harvard Square, 21 Rhode Island offers something increasingly difficult to find in Irvine—nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, a generous backyard, and a private setting with no homes directly behind. Inside, warm hickory hardwood floors extend throughout much of the main level, where two spacious living areas provide exceptional flexibility for everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the updated kitchen features abundant cabinetry, a large center island with seating, contemporary backsplash, open shelving, stainless-steel appliances, and pendant lighting, creating an inviting gathering space that opens naturally to the adjoining family room and casual dining area. Upstairs, four bedrooms include an exceptionally spacious primary suite with plenty of room for a separate sitting area, home office, or both. Fresh interior finishes, new carpet, and abundant natural light create a bright and comfortable feel throughout the home. The oversized backyard is another standout, offering multiple areas for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, and relaxing beneath two covered structures. With no residence directly behind the property, the backyard enjoys a sense of privacy that's increasingly difficult to find in Irvine. Nearby access to the Peters Canyon regional trail system provides miles of opportunities for walking, running, and cycling. The home is also equipped with 22 solar panels that has been fully paid off. One of Irvine's more intimate gated neighborhoods, Harvard Square is a private community with mature landscaping and neighborhood recreational amenities including a swimming pool and wader pool, playground/tot lot, and sports areas for basketball and sand volleyball. The combination creates a more established, residential neighborhood atmosphere while remaining conveniently located near Irvine's employment centers, shopping, dining, parks, schools, and recreational trails. With its combination of generous interior space, updated kitchen, large private backyard, paid-off solar, and central Irvine location, 21 Rhode Island offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to replicate in Irvine.
