This spacious 4-bedroom (plus a study) and 2.5 bath turnkey home in a quiet cul-de-sac in the Shady Hollow tract of the highly desirable Northwood community of Irvine has been aesthetically updated and remodeled within the past two years to meet the modern needs of a family with kids. A fully paid 10kW solar system sits on a 3-year-old tile roof to power an EV household. The kitchen has been tastefully remodeled with a custom truffle white stone countertop, subway tile backsplash, oversized chef’s sink and a test-winner cooktop. Both upstairs bathrooms are updated with rainfall showers. The central A/C and ducting have been recently serviced and two of the bedrooms have separate mini split AC units for energy efficiency. Two hybrid woodburning/gas fireplaces provide coziness for winter nights. The attached 2-car garage has been upgraded with a quality epoxy floor, a separate mini-split AC unit and an outlet for EV (currently being used for Tesla home charger), creating an ideal space for your home gym and still has enough space for one vehicle. Traditional Finnish cedar sauna and an outdoor shower in the backyard complement a modern wellness routine. The expanded driveway fits 2+ cars. Hardscaping in the front yard and a high-quality artificial turf on the backyard coupled with drip irrigation system ensures a low maintenance yard and ample space for children to play.
