I have a new listing in the gated community of Trovare, Newport Coast. Trovare is off of Newport Coast and Vista Ridge. It was built in 1994 and has about 170 homes. There are 2 and 3 bedroom condos. The price range is generally between $700-$1 million. The listing I have is the largest of the two bedrooms.....at 1483 sq feet. This is an upper unit that overlooks the Trovare pool. The home has granite countertops in the kitchen and marble flooring in the kitchen and dining room. The owner painted and put new carpet in 2.5 years ago. This home shows like a model. In fact, some have wondered if it was a model home or staged.....it shows well. We are priced at $780K.....which is what I sold the home to the current owner 2.5 years ago. Living in Trovare gives you access to the Newport Coast Clubhouse......over on Park Vista. There is a heated, jr. Olympic size pool there that is staffed......so you don't need to bring your own towels. Also there is a "party room" with an ocean view. I had a party there a couple of years ago....it was great. Down the hill from the clubhouse are the tennis and basketball courts. And within walking distance there is a little strip mall that includes a grocery store, Wells Fargo, a couple of restaurants and stores. When I lived in Trovare I used to eat at Pomodoro a couple of times a week. Inexpensive entrees and wine. I also used to walk down to PCH. This is not an easy walk as the hill going down to PCH is quite steep. Walking back up the hill isn't easy. It is 2.5 miles round trip from Trovare. You feel like walking it is difficult until you see the bike riders crusing up the hill easily.
