About This Home

As of July 2025

OLINDA VILLAGE SINGLE-STORY HOME! CUSTOM-BUILT POOL & WATERFALL SPA! LARGE LOT WITH CITY VIEWS! Beautifully upgraded, welcome to this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom ranch-style home. The bedrooms are strategically spaced throughout the home to maximize privacy, making it ideal for both families and guests. All bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled with high-end finishes such as marble and porcelain tile, frameless glass shower doors, elegant stand-alone vanities—even premium Toto Bidet Washlets with seat warmers and self-cleaning features. The spa-like master bath also includes a soaking tub and rock-form flooring in the walk-in shower. Elegant tile and porcelain flooring run throughout the home, enhancing its sleek, modern aesthetic. The fully remodeled kitchen is equipped with Thermador appliances—including a CET305 Cook Smart electric stovetop, 30" Masterpiece built-in oven, and DWHD dishwasher—alongside granite countertops, a stacked brick backsplash with under-cabinet lighting, a Zephyr Monsoon 30" stainless steel range hood, Franke single sink, Moen raised faucet, and brushed nickel hardware. Walk into your living room that features a cozy fireplace, new dual-pane windows, a remote-controlled shade, and recessed dimmable ring lights that glow a warm auburn tone. There is also a spacious family room, plus two separate dining areas—a formal dining room with a new sliding glass door and a secondary, casual dining space—offering flexibility for both entertaining and everyday living. Step outside to a private backyard oasis featuring lush garden space, a hardtop gazebo with chandelier, new rain gutters, updated French drains, and elegant Burbank Collection outdoor lighting that enhances the ambiance after dark. The resurfaced spa gently leaks waterfalls into the custom-built pool, creating a soothing water feature surrounded by greenery. The garage is as impressive as the interior, outfitted with paneled walls, a premium C.H.I. Model 2347 door and Lift Master Wi-Fi opener, and a Tesla EV charger. A Carrier central A/C system with attic-installed ductwork ensures energy-efficient comfort year-round. Located in the luxurious and secluded Olinda Village community, just minutes from Chino Hills State Park and Carbon Canyon Regional Park, this home is a dream for the outdoor adventurists. Moreover, this single-story retreat is situated in the top-rated Brea Olinda School District. Don't miss out—schedule your private tour today!
