130 Spotted Quail

Set on an elevated lot with views of a peaceful hillside, this beautifully upgraded DETACHED home in Irvine’s coveted Portola Springs community combines comfort, privacy, and convenience. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 2,238 sq. ft. of light-filled living space, it offers a rare balance of modern finishes and everyday functionality. With low community density, paid-off solar panels under the favorable NEM 2.0 program, and a premium location, this home rises above new construction alternatives in the area. Step inside to find brand-new vinyl wood flooring and freshly painted interiors that create a sleek, move-in-ready appeal. The open living and dining rooms are enhanced by dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, including a three-sided glass wall in the dining area that allows for ample natural light and seamless backyard views. The kitchen blends style and practicality with stone countertops, white cabinetry, and direct yard access. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is designed for relaxation, with a walk-in closet, dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom, and the laundry room adds everyday convenience on the same level. The backyard is a private retreat with lush landscaping, colorful blooms, and plenty of space for both quiet relaxation and children’s play. Energy savings come built-in with a robust solar system that often offsets utility costs entirely. Best of all, this home benefits from NEM 2.0 (Net Energy Metering), allowing homeowners to “bank” excess solar power at near-retail rates and draw on those credits when usage is higher, something no longer available under today’s NEM 3.0 structure. This advantage makes a significant long-term difference in keeping electricity bills low and predictable. The EV-ready garage with a dedicated outlet and conduit ensures future-proof convenience. Just a short stroll to Hillcrest Neighborhood Park, residents enjoy a full-size pool, playground, putting green, and scenic trails. Award-winning Irvine schools: Loma Ridge Elementary, Jeffrey Trail Middle, and Portola High, are all within reach, along with shopping, dining, and entertainment at Woodbury Town Center and Irvine Spectrum. Easy access to Portola Parkway, Irvine Boulevard, and CA-241 connects you seamlessly to the rest of Orange County.
