Welcome home to 3 Dorchester East! A bright and cheerful SINGLE-STORY charmer in the highly desirable Northwood neighborhood of Irvine. This property is an elegant blend of historic and contemporary elements, and it has been well-maintained through two generations. As soon as you walk through the double door entry, you are greeted by a warm and comfortable living area with rich walnut colored hardwood floors, a lovely stone fireplace, contemporary wood mantle, soaring ceilings, and natural light streaming through the windows. The dining area connects to the living room and leads to the renovated kitchen, which features granite countertops, a timeless white subway tile backsplash, refinished white cabinets, updated hardware, and newer stainless-steel appliances such as an oven, built-in microwave, 5 burner cooktop, vent hood, dishwasher, and sink. The bay window above the sink provides a view of your well-manicured backyard, and the spacious breakfast counter rounds off this well-appointed kitchen.
