A truly gorgeous home in the gated Collage community with new plush carpet, brand new interior paint, beautifully light and open, with light, durable laminate floors downstairs. In addition to the big living room and formal dining area, the open plan has an elegant kitchen with granite counters and a breakfast bar that opens into the dining area. Homework assignments can be done at the upstairs computer work station, and the luxurious master with separate tub and shower, double sinks and big walk-in closet promises a restful night. The second big upstairs bedroom with bath ensuite is perfect for roommates or guests. Two single-car garages open directly into the unit, offering additional security. Share a glass of ice tea with the neighbors on the front porch in summer, or enjoy a movie together in the living room with built-in entertainment center and fireplace. The upscale Collage community offers a BIG resort pool and spa with showers, and it's just a short walk to the HUGE community pool, kiddy pool and sports and playground facilities in nearby Meadowwood Park, or the tennis courts in Citrusglen Park. Walk right across the street to Canyon View Elementary School, one of Irvine's very highly rated schools!
