This one bedroom, ground level home boasts an extra den.  The front door is on a parallel row of homes, one row away from Kempton so visitors will not be able to park right outside the front door, however the location of the property is private and quiet, facing a wall which backs to Groveland.  Although the listing states 2 bedrooms, it is actually a one bedroom with a den.  Although the den could easily be converted to a bedroom, buyers should be aware that the only place to bathe is in the master bathroom.  The powder room does not have a place to shower/bathe.

Entering the home, the realtor pointed out that the home is a fixer-upper, which was quite obvious. However, the layout and vaulted ceilings throughout show very nicely. In addition, a single story home with 4 bedrooms is very desirable in Irvine, especially with a larger yard than newer homes. Prices of homes are on the rise, but I am curious if the condition of the home warrants the asking price. Colonial is one of the main residential streets leading back to other cul-de-sac streets in the neighborhood, so it will have higher traffic than some of the other streets. The community does not have a pool.
