About this home

Nestled in a highly desirable and well-maintained gated community, residents of Los Serranos Ranch enjoy proximity to award-winning schools such as Michael G. Wickman Elementary School, nearby parks including Pinehurst Park, and convenient access to shopping, dining, and commuter routes., this modern residence offers an exceptional blend of comfort and functionality. Featuring four spacious bedrooms and two and one-half baths, this home offers approximately 2,144 square feet of inviting living space ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Upon entry, you're welcomed by a bright, open living room with vaulted ceilings, complemented by a spacious family room with a fireplace and a flexible dining area adjacent to the living space. The kitchen features ample cabinetry, a cooktop, dishwasher, oven/range, and generous counter space. A convenient breakfast area overlooks the private backyard. Upstairs, all bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to maximize privacy and functionality. The primary suite includes an en suite bath and a newer vinyl double-pane sliding glass door that opens to a large private deck, providing a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Additional highlights include central heating and air conditioning, an attached two-car garage with direct access, a tile roof, and a low-maintenance lot. The property is located on a cul-de-sac with a level pad and topography, offering both tranquility and accessibility. All information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed. Buyers and their agents are advised to verify all information independently through appropriate professionals. Public records reflect 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. However, the property currently features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The additional bedroom resulted from a loft conversion, and the kitchen was also enclosed and had a door added without know permit. A large, spacious deck off the primary suite and a newer vinyl double-paned sliding glass door are also present; these improvements are believed to have been done with permits, though this has not been independently verified. IMPORTANT NOTE: Photography/Video: Per Seller’s instructions, the Listing Broker must note in the MLS that photography and/or video inside the property is limited to individuals preparing appraisal or inspection reports only. No other images, photographs, or videos may be taken or used without the Owner’s prior written consent and is prohibited otherwise.

Condition Rating
Poor

The property, built in 1997, is 27 years old, meaning original systems are nearing the end of their lifespan. While visible areas like flooring appear well-maintained, the MLS description explicitly states the kitchen was enclosed and a door added without a known permit. This unpermitted work is a significant legal and potential structural/safety defect. Furthermore, the seller's strict restriction on interior photography/video, particularly the absence of kitchen images, strongly suggests an attempt to conceal substantial issues. This lack of transparency and the unpermitted alterations indicate that the property likely requires significant repairs and rehabilitation to address code compliance and potential safety concerns, pushing it into the 'Poor' condition category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Community: Nestled in a highly desirable, well-maintained gated community (Los Serranos Ranch) with proximity to award-winning schools (Michael G. Wickman Elementary), parks (Pinehurst Park), shopping, dining, and commuter routes. Its cul-de-sac location adds to tranquility.
Functional Layout & Features: Offers 4 bedrooms (converted loft), 2.5 baths, 2,144 sqft of inviting living space with vaulted ceilings, a family room with fireplace, and a breakfast area overlooking the private backyard.
Primary Suite Retreat: Features a primary suite with an en suite bath and a large private deck accessible via a newer vinyl double-pane sliding glass door, providing a peaceful outdoor extension.
Modern Comforts: Equipped with central heating and air conditioning, an attached two-car garage with direct access, and a tile roof, ensuring year-round comfort and convenience.
Scenic Views: The property boasts desirable views of hills, mountains, and the neighborhood, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and potential value.

Cons

Unpermitted Conversions: Significant concern regarding unpermitted modifications, specifically the loft conversion to a fourth bedroom and the enclosure/door addition in the kitchen, which could lead to legal, insurance, or resale complications.
Limited Photography/Video Access: The unusual restriction on interior photography/video (only for appraisal/inspection) raises transparency concerns and may deter potential buyers who rely on visual tours for initial interest.
Small Lot Size: At 3,691 sqft, the lot is relatively small for a single-family home in Chino Hills, potentially limiting outdoor living space and privacy compared to other properties in the area.
