More Insights

Built in 1977 (49 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1977, the property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, as evidenced by the description stating it 'looks brand new' and is 'up-graded to perfection.' The images showcase a modern kitchen with white custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, along with updated bathrooms featuring contemporary fixtures, tiling, and vanities. New flooring (hardwood/laminate downstairs, carpet upstairs), recessed lighting, and smart home features like solar panels, a backup battery, Ecobee thermostat, and Lutron lighting control further support a 'virtually new' condition, aligning with the 'Excellent' criteria for a fully renovated property.

Chino Hills state park is just across the way, and El Roble equestrian center is just round the corner. Travel West to Brea and East to Chino Hills, with Western Hills golf course just down the road. The well-appointed location is private and exclusive within a community of new possibilities. The open floorplan boasts 4 bedrooms and 2 and a half baths all up-graded to perfection.

The upstairs has a giant great living room complete with gorgeous wet bar perfect for multifamily living. The kitchen is polished, and it looks brand new with exquisite granite counter tops, generous custom cabinetry and lots of natural lighting. Cozy up to the fireplace or head out the slider doors to the back yard haven with a giant canopy of views from every direction with green house and incredible outdoor patio perfect for relaxing, star gazing and taking in the view. There is a dual swing set in the back yard. There is also a smart echo bee thermostat which you can control from your phone. This property also has solar panels for added savings as the house has a Lutron lighting control system, 12-kilowatt solar system with a 10-kilowatt back up battery that is completely paid off so your electric bills are about $15 to $20 a month. There is also a 16-zone Ring sprinkler system that gives you great peace of mind if you are traveling as everything is automatic, so you do not have to worry about a thing. There is an up-stairs balcony where you can sit out and enjoy a great book while taking in the extraordinary view as you hear the sounds of nature calling. This home is also very pet friendly and there is dog door and a small, gated enclosure that houses a storage shed that could be turned into a pet house. We have an additional storage shed that is quite large as well a landing at the top of the driveway for additional parking. This home is truly one of a kind and the mix of natural terrain is quite impressive. Turnkey
