’70s SoCal Pad Dishes Up Dreamy Canyon Views and Party-Ready Pool for $2.3M

Set atop the picturesque perch of Southern California’s Carbon Canyon is an equally eye-catching marvel.

This 4,200-square-foot home in Chino Hills, CA, offers an intriguing combination of concrete and glass.

But far from stark inside, the house is surprisingly warm and inviting.

The 1970 creation, designed by architect David Tenneson Rich, is on the market for $2.3 million. The property last changed hands in 2014 for $1.35 million.

‘Piece of artwork’

“This unique home is not just a house; it is a piece of artwork,” says listing agent Coco (Chuanning) Zhang, of Pinnacle Real Estate Group. “The home used a massive amount of concrete and glass, which is rare for the houses built in Southern California today.”

The three-bedroom dwelling offers hints of a midcentury modern design. From its impressive wood ceilings and remarkable glass walls to its exposed concrete walls, each room was designed to deliver the wow factor.

A sunken living area seamlessly transitions from the entryway by a curved concrete wall, boasting a soaring ceiling, built-in shelves, and breathtaking views of Chino Valley. The nearby dining room has sliding glass doors that lead to the private backyard with a wraparound pool.

“The pool, the garden landscaping, and the feng shui design everywhere make the home really unique,” Zhang says.

Designed for entertaining, the party pad features a built-in bar with a separate seating area and fire, pit surrounded by walls of windows that offer direct access to the pool area.

Vacation getaway

“The current owners fell in love with this property when they first saw it,” Zhang says. “They’ve been using this as their vacation home for the past eight years, but it’s been vacant for the most of time. They haven’t had a chance to do much upgrading, since they only stay here for a short time. Plus, they want to keep it the way it was originally designed and don’t want to change too much.”

A spacious primary suite surrounded by sliders accesses a private terrace. Cantilever balconies extend from the bar and primary bedroom to an atrium between the master bedroom and living room, offering spectacular canyon and mountain views.

The listing agent hopes the buyer will appreciate the home’s unique design and setting.

“They should use this as their primary home to enjoy the most of it,” Zhang says. “The only reason my client wants to sell is that they don’t have time to be here. … They want to put the property in good hands and keep it in great shape. This should be a family legacy for a lifetime.”
