Open House Review: 80 Thornhurst

At the end of Thornhurst, in Stonegate, is a two level home with a desirable ground level bedroom. The bedroom has been converted into a den. The home, an end-unit, sits next to a common green area and is in excellent condition. Being located at the end of the street provides a safer area for children to play outdoors, but on the downside, the noise from Irvine Boulevard can easily be heard over the cinderblock wall standing at the end of the Thornhurst.
