Description
Nestled in the scenic Upper Hastings Ranch neighborhood, this fully renovated ranch-style residence occupies a generous 8,405 sqft corner lot and is primed for immediate move-in. Boasting 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the home showcases a host of new features including oak hardwood floors, marble countertops, state-of-the-art appliances, and upscale fixtures. The property was meticulously designed to offer a bright, airy ambiance with an abundance of natural light and excellent flow. All mechanical systems have been updated or replaced, with a comprehensive electrical overhaul featuring a new 200amp panel. Additionally, the entire plumbing system has been revamped with new water and drain lines, along with the installation of a tankless water heater. A brand-new central air system and high-efficiency windows ensure year-round comfort for the entire family. The living room is centered around a classic wood-burning fireplace that actually works, while the spacious den overlooking the pool serves as an ideal work-from-home office or a dedicated play area for kids. Equally impressive, the secondary bathroom includes a new soaking tub/shower, perfect for young children. The kitchen is adorned with soft-close cabinets featuring shaker doors and designer handles, while a separate, roomy laundry area provides direct access to the outdoors and the garage. Outside, the property has received tasteful upgrades including a refurbished pool with new plaster, plumbing, and pool equipment. A new retaining wall was also installed around the property. The lush landscaping includes expansive grassy areas adorned with white roses in both the front and back, beautifully complementing the home. To round it off, the property offers secured and gated additional parking or storage behind the two-car garage.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe bright spot of this school is the families. The parents are involved and the kids are kind. The 'experienced' teachers are jaded and mean. I witnessed teachers SCREAM at kids, or yell at them with their finger pointed an inch from their face; and this was TK and Kinder. I volunteered monthly, and the teachers were cruel to these kids every time. These teachers also seemed to fall a bit short on the actual teaching. They barely interacted with the kids during lessons, relying heavily on tech to teach for them. They don't even check in on the kids during these lessons. Ms Brittany is the young, energetic, empathic outlier. She is amazing. My child had her in the GenEd / SPED blended class, but she is primarily the SPED teacher. The families with SPED kids say she is great and rave about her.Parent Review7mo ago - Pasadena High School
