Description

If you're searching for a single level home in Irvine, look no further. Located in the Crestwood Estates of Northwood in Irvine, this residence boasts over 1,800 square feet of living space, features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and has been tastefully updated throughout. Upon entry you'll be welcomed by high ceilings, new flooring, new dual pane windows and a large bay window that lets in an abundance of natural light. The kitchen has been improved to include cherry wood cabinets, granite countertops and a large island perfect for gathering. Both bathrooms have been completed updated and invoke feelings of being at a day spa with natural elements, bright accents and calming textures. The oversized primary suite is located at the back of the house and features vaulted ceilings and a walk-in closet. A recent attic conversion has prompted a second story 4th bedroom retreat with walk-in closet and a 3rd full bathroom. This space can be used as elevated storage, a home office, game room, home theater or anything else your heart desires. The backyard has been transformed into a sanctuary garden surrounded by lush walls of green vines, strategically planted trees and plants and elegantly designed hardscape to provide various sitting areas throughout. A back gate will lead directly to Hicks Canyon Trail with walking and biking path that leads directly to Santiago Hills Elementary School or in the opposite direction under Culver to Hicks Canyon Community Park and Northpark Plaza with shopping and dining. Additional highlights include a newer roof, new HVAC with furnace and AC, full house repipe and new dual pane windows with window coverings throughout.
