This colorful, Frida Kahlo-inspired single level house (5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2469 square feet on a large 13,775 square-foot lot), is perfectly located in North Tustin. Hewes Middle School--three doors down--and Foothill High School next to it, are two of the most sought-after schools in the county. The piece de resistance of the house is the customized kitchen--a professional chef's dream--with a two-level, 11-foot granite-top island in the middle. On one end--built into it--is a six-foot solid wood table (seating five) while on the other end is a prep-work sink. In the middle of the island are two Sub-Zero refrigeration drawers. The large kitchen--has a Sub-Zero refrigerator, double Miele ovens with warming drawer, a steam (as well as electric) Gaggenau oven and restaurant-sized vent, featuring a Wolf six-burner cooktop and an indoor barbeque. There's a second- larger sink on one end with a television above it to view those new episodes of "Top Chef". Just around the corner--feet away--is an additional pantry for bulk items and storage for large appliances. The kitchen as well as the family room and two of the three bathrooms (including the master) were remodeled in 2006. The master bathroom has double sinks, stackable washer and dryer and storage for towels. The oversized step-down shower is also a steam bath. The countertop in the master bathroom and front bathroom are marble as is a four-foot seat in the shower which is quite comfortable when the steam bath is turned on. Around the corner from the kitchen is the family room, with plenty of hardwood cabinetry (same as in the kitchen) for storage or display. Outside is a large four-burner barbeque island. The side door of the family room leads to the refrigerated, temperature-controlled wine cellar for 400 bottles. The master bedroom has a solarium off it with a large walk-in closet with clothing and shoe racks galore. Off the kitchen, one steps into a large patio that, during cooler nights, can have remote-controlled screens drop down. Stepping off the patio, everything turns tropical. All fence-lines on the property are covered in greenery and as steaks are being grilled there is a large swimming pool with a waterfall that friends and family will definitely enjoy. Part of the garage has been converted to an exercise room and would need to be converted back to park 2 cars. There is room for 2-3 cars in the driveway and 2 more cars behind the remote operated gate. Home is being sold "As Is".
