For the discerning buyer in search of luxurious, resort-style living and access to a wealth of amenities, all located fewer than 8 miles from the beach, this gorgeous residence ticks all the boxes. Lovingly maintained and highly upgraded throughout, this tri-level townhome located in the lovely gated community of Vantage Townhomes at South Coast Metro is sure to delight its new owner. Its nearly1800 sq. ft. of living space (freshly painted throughout) on three spacious levels is thoughtfully planned for comfortable, elegant living. Everywhere you look, designer touches and high-end finishes: Thai Walnut hardwood floors, custom woodwork, plantation shutters, recessed lighting, and so much more. The handsome formal living area features high ceilings, tall windows that flood the space with light, and an eye-catching floor to ceiling fireplace of stone. A large formal dining area with more than ample room for entertaining adjoins a spectacular kitchen. Feast your eyes on the quartz countertops, high-end cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including new (in 2021) Kitchen Aide fridge, GE Profile gas range, high-efficiency disposal, ceiling high tile backsplash, pantry, and convenient breakfast/serving bar. You’ll also appreciate the large private patio for outdoor lounging, dining and barbecuing, and lovely guest powder room on the main level. Upstairs, relax in the comfort of a primary bedroom suite that adjoins a sumptuous bath with glass enclosed shower, soaker tub, full height beveled subway tile, dual vanity with Carrara marble top, and TWO walk-in closets with custom storage fittings. Two secondary bedrooms access a large, bright updated bath with tub shower, marble top vanity, and beveled subway tile. Throughout the townhouse, you’ll find lots of modern technology-focused conveniences: a whole-home sound/speaker system, upgraded low-voltage lighting in the kitchen, Nest II thermostat and central control panel, and whole home water filtration and softener systems. Parking is also a breeze in your two-car direct access garage. Outside your door, meet friendly neighbors (families, couples, singles) many of whom are dog lovers (your canines companions are welcome). Get together around the pool and spa. And beyond the gates, the world awaits. South Coast Plaza, Segerstrom, the Irvine Business Complex, and a wide choice of dining and entertainment. You’ll have quick access to freeways, and can be at the beach in no time at all. Perfect.
