It was tight parking on the street due to the amount of cars parked on the street but 65 Cape Cod is a two story, zero-lot line property that is move-in ready.  I was surprised to find out that the home’s status is “Accepting Backup Offers” just four days after being on the market. While a nice home, I originally felt the asking price may have been high due the detached garage, lack of a full bathroom next to the ground floor bedroom, and lack of community amenities, but it showed well and has no HOA fees or Mello Roos.

Asking Price:   $900,000
Bedrooms:       3

Open House Review 94 Mayfair, Irvine, CA 92620

September 1, 2017 by Joy

Although advertised as a two bedroom home, this is a one bedroom plus den on the ground level.  The den has nicely been converted to a private room but buyers should be aware that the only place to bathe is in the master bathroom.  The powder room does not have a place nor the space to shower/bathe. This model comes with an attached single car garage.

Asking Price :    $570,000
Bedrooms:         1 + den
Bathrooms:        1.5
Sq. Footage:       1,130
Price/sq ft.         $504
