What Homes in This Size Range Look Like in North Tustin

The housing stock in North Tustin within this size range consists primarily of custom-built single-family homes occupying larger parcels, often multiple acres. Hillside positioning requires creative design to work with terrain, resulting in split-level, multi-story, and creative architectural responses to topography. Designs span from traditional to contemporary, with each property often reflecting individual owner preferences rather than community-wide aesthetic guidelines.

Most homes feature greater square footage relative to lot size compared to suburban communities, reflecting vertical organization of hillside properties. Many properties include outbuildings, corrals, or structures supporting equestrian activities. Mature oak trees and natural landscaping reflect the foothills environment, creating rustic California charm. The emphasis on custom design and individual expression means properties vary considerably in character and appeal.

This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Spanish Revival home on La Bella Drive has been meticulously renovated with permits, pairing designer finishes throughout with a backyard built for staying outside long after the sun goes down. Terracotta tile, stacked stone accents, and deep covered eaves set the tone before you even reach the front door, at the end of the paver drive. Step inside and the living room opens beneath vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings, centered on a sculptural, plaster-clad fireplace with a floating stone hearth. Slide open the glass doors and the gesture repeats outdoors, where a Mission-style fireplace continues the conversation across the patio. Just beyond, your dining room is centered around a brass chandelier and built-in display shelving. These living spaces flow into one another with the kind of ease that only comes from careful planning. The kitchen carries the same craftsmanship, pairing oak shaker cabinetry and quartz counters with new appliances and a maroon zellige backsplash rising beneath an arched, corbel-detailed plaster hood, a quiet nod to the home's Spanish bones. It opens into a separate family room anchored by library-style built-ins and a wine fridge overlooking the pool. Just off the entry, a powder room makes a statement: walls in Portola Roman Clay plaster and champagne bronze fixtures are set against a diamond mosaic floor. The primary suite occupies the main level, its French doors opening directly onto the yard. Its bath is designed as a wet room, with a fluted dual vanity and checkerboard tile underfoot, while a marble surround unites the walk-in shower and freestanding soaking tub in an enclosed, spa-like space tucked beside a window alcove. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms feature vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings. The hall bath brings the home's Spanish character to life, finished with an arched, tiled tub alcove, basketweave marble underfoot, and a wicker pendant overhead. Outside, a pergola-covered patio, a pool, a built-in BBQ, and that same Mission-style fireplace turn the backyard into an extension of the home, ready for enjoyment year round in the heart of North Tustin.

Tucked behind the gates of California Crossing, this is the kind of home you picture when you imagine Tustin living: private, quiet, and all yours. Quiet cul-de-sac, mature landscaping, a front porch built for lingering, and a location that puts you minutes from The District, Old Town Tustin, and top-rated schools. Step through the door and the space opens up immediately, with vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows pulling in light that makes the whole downstairs feel bigger and brighter than you'd expect. The kitchen is the real showstopper. Cherry cabinetry, quartz counters, a full stainless appliance package with a built-in oven and microwave, and an island big enough to gather the whole crew around for bar seating. There's even a dedicated wine tasting nook with a built-in rack. The kitchen spills straight into a family room with a fireplace and its own wine fridge, then out through sliders to the backyard. The flow here is effortless. A laundry room with built-in cabinetry keeps everyday life organized. Upstairs, a catwalk overlooks the space below, adding to the open, airy feel of the home. The primary suite doesn't hold back either. Vaulted ceilings, a big walk-in closet, and a spa-style bathroom with a soaking tub and a glass walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated dual-vanity hall bathroom, so there's room for everyone. But the backyard is where this place really earns its keep. A custom stacked-stone bar with a built-in BBQ, a sunken fire pit with curved stone seating, a pergola-covered patio, and turf that stays green year-round. It's set up for weekend hangs, not just a nice view out the window. This is a home that's ready to move into and just as ready to entertain in. Come see it for yourself.
