Welcome to this Charming Creek View Townhome in The Lakes, a desirable area of Northwood where homes are nestled in between mature trees and peaceful waterways. The spacious two bedroom, two story, townhome is an individual unit with no one above or below. Natural light fills the home through floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights, while soaring cathedral ceilings give the home a spacious open feel. The formal entry leads to a large functional kitchen, dining area and a powder room, then step down to the sunken living room with its cozy fireplace. A sliding door leads out to the patio, where water creek, ducks, lily pads and lush landscapes surround the home to create a serene, tranquil and peaceful setting. A storage closet there has a washer & dryer inside for your convenience. Upstairs is the primary bedroom suite with two closets, a dressing area, skylight, linen cabinet, vaulted ceilings and a double sink vanity with direct access to the full bathroom. There is a good sized second bedroom that shares the bathroom. 2 reserved parking spaces, one of which is a covered carport, are available with plenty of guest and street parking. Remodeling this home is easier since it already has new paint & water heater. Community amenities include swimming pools, spas, tennis courts and professionally landscaped & maintained creeks. Award-winning schools are just a short distance away, while shopping & restaurants are close by. Enjoy easy access to the 405, 5, or 133 freeway as well as the Marketplace, Irvine Spectrum, South Coast Plaza, Newport Fashion Island and UC Irvine. You are going to love living here!
