The home

About 18 Tidewater

Nestled in the gated community of Lakeside is Arbor Cove, built by a renowned home builder, William Lyon Homes. This home is their largest model. In 1999, the home was built for the sellers, and they opted for the 4th and 5th bedroom to be “opened up” into one big “bunk room”. (Refer to the floorplan in the photos.) Full of builder and after market upgrades, this home includes: a primary bedroom balcony deck, a utility sink in the laundry room, extra recessed lighting thru-out the entertaining areas, dual HVAC units, an updated kitchen with high-end double oven range and ventilation hood, additional pantry storage and hidden microwave, plus a solar energy generation system (which will be paid in full upon sale).

The floorplan is very comfortable with a 1st floor bedroom and shower bathroom; a loft near the secondary bedrooms for an additional “study”; generously sized rooms; very spacious primary suite with extra-sized walk-in closet, separate vanities, separate shower and a separate toilet room; even the secondary bathroom has a dual sink vanity and a separate toilet/shower/tub room. Conveniently, the laundry room is on the 2nd level. There is plenty of parking and storage, as a result of 3 garage spaces.

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home is just a short walk from all the neighborhood amenities: playsets, basketball half court, fishing/boating lake, walking/jogging trails, clubhouse, Jr. Olympic pool, spa, fire pit rings and picnic areas. The Lakeside gated community is proud to offer residents with well-maintained landscaping, security and holiday décor. They stock the lake with fish and loan out paddle boats too! The clubhouse is available to reserve for private parties. HOA dues are very fair for all these features, at $262/month.

The community resides in the Fullerton Joint Union High School District, in which students may select their school of choice during open registration. This home belongs to Sunny Hills High. Other choices are Troy, Sonora & Fullerton, to name a few. Residents attend Charles Emery Elementary, offering dual language immersion in either Spanish or Korean, and Beattie Middle School, famous for its nationally top-ranking Speech and Debate team!

Entertaining offers at or over the list price of $1,328,888, which is only $500/square foot…Lakeside hasn’t sold at this price point since 2023! Why so low? It’s a fixer, with termite and roof repairs to make. So, hurry…only 1 lucky buyer can win this steal of a deal!
