Walking through the front door, the tile floors lead down a hallway to the great room. Along the hallway is a nook on the right that can fit a piece of furniture. Off the hallway is the master bedroom to the left, before entering the great room. The kitchen is open and large, overlooking the dining and living rooms. With granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a large center island, the kitchen has plenty of wood cabinetry in addition to a pantry for storage. The built-in refrigerator was leaking at the time I visited the home.

Off the back of the kitchen is the laundry room with the garage entrance. There is space for a side by side washer and dryer with some cabinetry and a small window above the appliances. Behind the door, to the right, are additional cabinetry and a sink.

Past the kitchen’s peninsula, which has space for bar stools, is the dining area and large living room. The rooms are large with built-ins and plenty of windows bringing in an abundance of natural light. With high ceilings, the rooms are spacious. The tile floors from the kitchen and dining room convert into a neutral carpet in the living room. The living room has a stone fireplace with built-ins on each side of the fireplace. A ceiling fan sits in the middle of the ceiling and the room is spacious enough to set up furniture in various ways.

A glass door opens up to the large, nicely landscaped backyard containing mature trees, grass, outdoor stacked stone fireplace, and built-in bar-b-que. The yard has plenty of space for entertaining as well as for kids to play.

The master bedroom also overlooks the backyard with a sliding glass door opening up to the patio. The bedroom is a nice size with built-in speakers and a ceiling fan. It is light and bright with neutral colored carpet. Through a doorway is the master bedroom. There is no privacy door so light and noise may travel into the bedroom if someone is still in bed while the bathroom is utilized, however it appears that a door could be added if desired. The bathroom was not packed with upgrades, but was clean and in excellent condition. To the left are dual sinks with wood cabinetry and 4×4 tile countertops. The same 4×4 white tiles are found in the spacious walk-in shower and surrounding the soaking tub. The large walk-in closet sports a closet organizer.

Past the kitchen, on the way back to the home is another open area with a built-in office desk. A sliding glass door leads out to the sidewalk leading up to the front door. There is space for a small table, but with the dining room, I was not sure what the space was meant for. However, the space could be used as a play area for kids, office or a casual eating area.

A half bathroom and coat closet are found at the hallway leading back to the secondary bedrooms. The half bathroom is small with a pedestal sink behind the open door. The secondary bedroom was smaller than I had expected, but the high ceilings created an open feel. Both rooms are furnished with ceiling fans, neutral colored carpet and dual sliding closet doors. Between the two bedrooms are linen cabinets and a shared bathroom. The shared bathroom has a single sink and tub/shower combo. It is a basic bathroom with white countertops and 4×4 tile tub surround. It is in clean, excellent condition.

The home is in Northpark Square, not Northpark, but it is nicely located on a cul-de-sac street within a gated neighborhood. It is walking distance to the elementary and high schools. Being a one story home with a nice sized back yard is highly sought after in Irvine and this home has a nice, open layout.
