48 Monroe, Irvine, CA, 92620
About This Home
Northwood Timberline enclave, where listings are a rare find, 48 Monroe is your ticket into Irvine, consistently ranked among the safest cities in the U.S., and access to a top-rated school district! Northwood is known for mature tree-lined streets, established neighborhood feel, and strong long-term value. With low HOA dues of $270 - and no Mello-Rooms - with a prime location in one of Irvine’s most desirable communities, 48 Monroe represents a compelling value and an excellent entry point into the Northwood market. The main floor features newer tile flooring and an open kitchen with granite countertops that flows naturally into a spacious family room, making it ideal for everyday life and easy entertaining. Upstairs, luxury vinyl flooring runs through all three bedrooms, including a primary suite with a custom granite vanity and an elegant travertine shower. Major systems — A/C, furnace, dual-pane windows, and dishwasher — were all replaced approximately nine years ago, so you can settle in with confidence. The washer, dryer, and refrigerator are included, along with indoor laundry and a detached 2-car garage. A private patio yard offers the perfect outdoor retreat for enjoying Southern California evenings. Situated in the highly desirable Northwood area of Irvine, residents are zoned for award-winning Brywood Elementary, Sierra Vista Middle, and Northwood High School, with Irvine Valley College (IVC) and University California Irvine (UCI) just minutes away. The community itself offers two pools and spas, lush park-like grounds, and a tot lot. Steps from major shopping and dining, quick access to the 5 Freeway, and close to the renowned Woollett Aquatics Center, Heritage Community Park. When you aren’t enjoying your private patio, explore the nearby Irvine Spectrum and the Irvine and Tustin Marketplace: from world-class dining like Din Tai Fung and Mastro’s to premium shopping at Nordstrom and Lululemon, and a huge sixteen screen Regal Theater, everything you need is just a short drive away! Homes in this community rarely hit the market. This is the one you've been waiting for!
