Welcome to beautiful Tierra Vista, one of the most desirable hilltop communities within Lake Forest. This lower level, end unit, with attached direct access single car garage, is privately positioned on the northeast side of the community, minutes away from the lush greenbelts of the neighboring Peachwood Park. A level cement walkway or short stairwell exterior access brings you to the beautiful arched front porch area with room to accentuate using your own personal décor and taste. Enter through the front door and the tasteful designer paint tones, crown moulding, recessed lighting, new LVP flooring, and open kitchen concept give the home a larger than life feel. An upgraded kitchen with rich wood cabinetry and stainless steel appliances are complimented by gorgeous marbled granite countertops and tear drop accent lighting above the kitchen bar seating completing its tasteful design. The dining area, living area, and additional bar seating easily accommodates intimate gatherings and the expansive sliding glass door allows you to bring the private outdoor patio setting inside on those beautiful days and nights Orange County is known for. Guest parking is also just a short walk away from this unit which is extremely nice. The bedrooms are located on opposite sides of the main living area, close enough to each other yet far enough way for privacy. The master bedroom does have its own bath area and walk-in closet. Each bedroom has direct access to the beautiful back courtyard setting with large cement patio area, new planter bed design, exterior shed, and surrounded by block wall for the extra sense of privacy. This back courtyard environment has a lanai feel to it created by the positioning of the upstairs overhead balcony. A separate laundry room area separates the kitchen from the direct access door to the single car garage making it very nice to transport groceries to and from the car or avoiding challenging weather conditions. This home is located within close proximity to major retail and business districts; close to Irvine Spectrum, Lake Forest Sports and Recreation Center, and JFK Airport; and the major arteries of I5, 405, and 241 easily accessible for commuting purposes. What a wonderful opportunity to own this beautiful lower end unit!
