A rare opportunity in Irvine—this is the one buyers wait for: welcome to 23 Bianco, a true “unicorn” property offering exceptional privacy and space. Ideally situated in the coastal foothills near the gateway to Laguna Beach and just moments from the Irvine Spectrum, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home is located within the prestigious 24-hour guard-gated community of Laguna Altura, known for its central location and elevated setting. With no neighbors on either side or behind, the residence delivers an unparalleled sense of seclusion that is almost impossible to find in this market. Set on an expansive 12,348 square foot lot, the outdoor space is just as impressive as the home itself. Enjoy a beautifully designed paver patio complete with a pergola featuring a fan and light, plus an awning for added shade—perfect for year-round entertaining. The oversized yard includes a large grass area and mature fruit trees, creating a private retreat ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying outdoor activities. Inside, the home offers 1,868 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with 9-foot ceilings and an abundance of natural light. Hardwood flooring flows throughout both levels, with carpeted stairs for added comfort and quiet. The interior was freshly painted in 2025, complementing the bright white cabinetry and timeless granite countertops found throughout. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet, walk-in shower, and soaking tub, creating a true retreat. Secondary bedrooms are enhanced with charming Juliet balconies, adding character and architectural interest. Additional highlights include crown molding, double-paned windows, custom window coverings, and awnings over southwest-facing windows for energy efficiency and comfort. Practical upgrades include an upstairs laundry room and a garage with epoxy flooring for a clean, polished finish. Residents of Laguna Altura enjoy access to multiple parks, playgrounds, and a resort-style pool and spa—enhancing the lifestyle this home already offers. The property is also zoned for the highly acclaimed Irvine Unified School District, one of the top-performing school districts in the state.
