Wow, such a deal on this wonderful condo with Irvine schools and the Northwood lifestyle! Freshly priced - now over $70,000 below the original asking price! Three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, great location - and it's two stories. One of the best-value addresses in Irvine, 48 Monroe is tucked into Northwood's canopy of mature trees. A well-appointed condo that delivers the lifestyle Irvine buyers look for: top-ranked schools, low-crime living, access to world-class dining, shopping and entertainment - and a neighborhood that holds its value. All at a price point that rarely surfaces in this zip code. The main floor features elegant tile flooring, an open kitchen with granite countertops, and a family room designed for real life and easy entertaining. Upstairs, luxury vinyl flooring runs through all three bedrooms, and the primary suite steps up the finish level with a custom granite vanity and a travertine shower that feels distinctly elevated for this price range. The big-ticket systems - A/C, furnace, dual-pane windows, dishwasher - were all replaced roughly nine years ago. Washer, dryer, and refrigerator are included. Indoor laundry. There is a detached 2-car garage and a private patio yard made for Southern California evenings! 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! The community delivers, too! Close by is the Northwood Community Park is about 17.7 acres and includes a community center, playground, soccer fields, tennis courts, basketball, handball, ball diamond, fitness course, picnic shelters, and bicycle trail access!

Residents are zoned for Brywood Elementary (GreatSchools 10/10), Sierra Vista Middle (GreatSchools 9/10), and Northwood High (GreatSchools 10/10) and highly-acclaimed University California Irvine (UCI) and Irvine Valley College (IVC) are just minutes away.
