About this home

Fantastic Verdemont Heights Single Story Home! Available for the first time in 21 years, this great home is nestled at the foot of the majestic San Bernardino Mountains in one of San Bernadino's best kept secrets, Verdemont Heights. At the moment, this is the only single story available in the area! Built in 2004, w/ NO HOA, this is the home you've been looking for! Upon arrival, you'll appreciate the freshly painted exterior that was just finished in 2022, lush front yard w/ grass and an extra large driveway. After entering, there is a spacious formal living area that divides the bedrooms and dining/kitchen area. The entire interior was just repainted in January of this year and beautiful crown molding was also added throughout. The kitchen opens up nicely to the dining and second living area. The island kitchen offers tile counters, undermount lights and tons of storage. The living area off the kitchen boasts a gas fireplace, wood shutters, plenty of room and direct access to the backyard. The secondary bedrooms are spacious, both have ceiling fans and the tall ceilings throughout really open up the space. Both the hallway bath and the primary bath were updated in 2021. The primary suite has direct access to a private bath. The primary bath has a beautifully tiled walk in shower and dual sinks. The backyard features a nice covered patio, and a hillside that can be terraced or enjoyed as is. The garage offers an additional area that can be utilized as a shop, hobby area, man cave or additional storage. There is also plumbing in the floor if you would like to convert the garage to a casita like other homes in the neighborhood have. Other upgrades to note: water heater replaced in 2024, A/C replaced in 2019, and the garage door is only 2 years old. At the south end of the neighborhood, you'll find Jack Riley Park and a huge green space, perfect for a picnic, exercise area or place to unwind. Homes in this area don't come to market often for a reason. It's truly a hidden gem and a place you'll be sure to love! Set up an appointment to see this great home before it's to late!

Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 2004, is 20 years old, fitting within the 'Good' category's age range. It boasts numerous recent updates, including a freshly painted exterior (2022), interior (2024), updated bathrooms (2021), a new water heater (2024), and a newer A/C unit (2019). These updates ensure major systems are functional and well-maintained, making the home move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. However, the kitchen features tile countertops and traditional wood cabinets, which, while clean and functional, are not considered modern or high-end by today's standards, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. The overall condition is very solid and well-cared for.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Community Appeal: Nestled in the desirable Verdemont Heights at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains, described as a 'hidden gem' with rare market availability and proximity to Jack Riley Park.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Significant updates including exterior paint (2022), interior paint and crown molding (Jan 2024), updated bathrooms (2021), new water heater (2024), A/C (2019), and garage door (2 years old), indicating excellent maintenance and move-in readiness.
Single-Story Layout & No HOA: Highly sought-after single-story design, currently the only one available in the area, combined with the significant financial benefit of no Homeowners Association fees.
Versatile Garage & Backyard Potential: The garage offers flexible space for a shop, hobby area, or storage, with plumbing for potential casita conversion. The backyard features a covered patio and a hillside with terracing potential.
Functional and Spacious Interior: Features include a spacious formal living area, an island kitchen with ample storage, a living area with a gas fireplace and wood shutters, and tall ceilings throughout, enhancing the sense of space.

Cons

Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price drops from the original list price ($639,900 to $620,000) suggest potential overpricing initially or a slower market response, which could impact buyer perception or future negotiation.
Hillside Backyard Maintenance/Development: While offering potential, the hillside backyard may require significant landscaping effort or investment for terracing to maximize usable space, which could be a deterrent for some buyers.
Mixed School Ratings: While some elementary schools have good ratings, the overall school district and some middle/high school ratings are moderate (e.g., 3-5), which might be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
