About This Home
Tucked along a peaceful interior greenbelt in Irvine's sought-after Timberline community of Northwood, this beautifully updated nearly 1,200 sq ft condo is the kind of home that instantly feels right the moment you walk through the door. Warm, inviting, and truly turnkey, you step inside to an open, light-filled layout where the living room flows effortlessly into the dining and family room, anchored by a cozy fireplace that sets the tone for the entire home. The space opens seamlessly to a beautifully updated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, a butcher block-style island, stainless steel appliances, and custom wood shelving, a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful, with sliding doors opening to a private patio that floods the home with natural sunlight and that rare warm, connected indoor-outdoor feeling that makes everyday living feel calm and peaceful. Wide-plank LVP flooring, recessed lighting, and a newer HVAC system give the home a fresh, modern energy, while a powder bath and a two-car garage with built-in storage and a 240V EV-ready outlet round out the main level. Upstairs you will find two spacious bedrooms, each with its own refreshed ensuite bathroom and newer dual pane windows, creating a true dual-primary layout that is as flexible as it is genuinely rare in this price range, along with an upstairs laundry area that adds everyday ease right where you need it most. Low HOA dues, no Mello Roos, access to top-rated Irvine Unified schools including Brywood Elementary, Sierra Vista Middle, and Northwood High, two community pools, a playground, and lush greenbelts, all perfectly positioned near parks, popular shopping and dining, The Marketplace, Irvine Spectrum Center, South Coast Plaza, John Wayne Airport, and a short drive to Laguna Beach.
