Woodbridge Remodeled Gables Tract Single Family Home

17 Rockwren $920,000

Recently I have seen two remodeled single family homes in the $900,000 price range in University Park. This property offers a similar price with the contrast of nearby Woodbridge, which proved to be a magnet last Sunday, attracting a steady stream of visitors.

The 3 bedroom, 2 bath property is a remodeled single family home inside the loop that’s new to the market. Located on a quiet cul de sac, within steps of North Lake, the home has a large lot and a hefty chunk of remodeling and upgrades working for it.

Significant Numbers: Built in 1978, this all one level home is 1,830 sq. ft on a 5,227 sq. ft. lot at $503 a sq. ft. On the market 12 days, HOA dues are $82. There are no Mello Roos.

Close up: Staged to sell, everything is in place from curbside on through. Inside, the entry opens into a light filled floor plan where there are no steps. The good sized family room has vaulted ceilings, high windows and a brick fireplace.

The remodeled kitchen with granite counters, new stainless appliances and designer tile backsplash, opens to the dining room with French doors.

New windows, wood flooring and fresh paint give the home a crisp presence. To the right off the hall the three bedrooms include a large master suite with new sliding glass doors accessing the patio, dual vanities and a walk-in closet. Along with the two other bedrooms and full bath there is a convenient inside laundry here.

Outside, professional landscaping accents the patio areas and windowed areas throughout the home create an inside/outside atmosphere.

What should be considered? As an all on one level home, that has been completely remodeled in a prime North Lake Woodbridge spot, the property competes well and could be expanded. Several homes on the street have been expanded. Top Irvine schools and key lake recreation areas boost the equation.

Who will move in? As a complete single level home, mature buyers and families with older members may find this to be a very natural choice. Other buyers who want a key Irvine lake location in the inner loop or families looking for top schools and Woodbridge’s community atmosphere will be looking at this one.
