12 Chicory WAY Irvine, CA 92612

No wonder the Irvine Company chose to start building their first homes in University Park. It was the best location then and it's still the best and most convenient location today as the City of Irvine grew around it. This is the largest floorplan in the Village II association with a direct-access garage. This home has been beautifully upgraded and expanded with a permitted 225 sqft solarium adding a flexible space to enjoy sunshine year round. This end-unit on a quiet cul-de-sac is open on three sides with a greenbelt and playground behind. Natural light floods this home with walls of glass windows. The first floor has a remodeled kitchen featuring white Shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless appliances including a gas burner range, and a custom glass backsplash. The first floor huge master bedroom has a walk-in closet. The master bath is also remodeled with a white Shaker-style vanity, a quartz countertop, and a fully tiled shower with a custom glass shower door. The living room has a fireplace, cathedral ceilings, and access to the backyard. The solarium provides opportunities for true California indoor/outdoor living. A room to relax in, entertain under the stars, for your art studio, or a playroom the space is only limited by your imagination. In addition to two bedrooms and another remodeled bathroom the upstairs includes a room that will make your jaw drop. With over 400 sqft it is so much more than a 4th bedroom. Imagine a room for your home office (there’s even space for two separate offices), a music room, home theater, full home gym, or any combination of these. With one of the biggest lots in the association there’s plenty of space in your front, side, and backyards. The ground has been fully prepped awaiting your vision for your outdoor private oasis.
