Contemporary 4-Bedroom Home Near Loma Linda University
What stands out at 26689 Verna Court is the combination of thoughtful updates and location: a contemporary, two-story home with renovated living spaces and a large, level yard just under a quarter acre. Built in 1998 and owned by the current family since 2019, this 2,200-square-foot residence balances practical upgrades—new roof in 2020, central air, forced-air heating—with comfortable everyday features such as a fireplace and hardwood floors that run through key living areas.
The heart of the house is the modernized kitchen and the suite of updated bathrooms. Finishes were selected to be durable and tasteful, supporting a low-maintenance lifestyle while complementing the home's existing layout. Multiple living zones across the main and upper levels create flexibility for families, a home office, or visiting guests. Four bedrooms include a primary suite and two additional full baths that were recently refreshed to contemporary standards.
Outside, the .195-acre lot delivers a rare suburban advantage: usable outdoor space for play, gardening, or future expansion. The level lot and standard frontage on Verna Court make access and parking straightforward; an attached two-car garage provides direct entry and storage. Composition shingle roofing was replaced in 2020, an important near-term capital improvement for new owners.
Location is a practical selling point. This house sits in the Brynhurst neighborhood with rapid access to Loma Linda University (about 0.8 miles) and nearby medical employers—including the VA Hospital—making it especially convenient for healthcare and university staff. Everyday errands are minutes away at Loma Linda Marketplace, while Hulda Crooks Park offers nearby outdoor recreation. With solid recent sales in the immediate area and steady appreciation, this property will appeal to buyers seeking a move-in-ready home close to institutional anchors and recreation.
Buyers will appreciate the combination of recent investments, strong local demand, and the flexibility the interior and lot provide. Whether you’re a professional looking for proximity to campus and hospitals, a family seeking reliable public-school options in the Redlands Unified School District, or an investor evaluating long-term cash-flow potential, 26689 Verna Court presents a compelling, well-maintained choice in a stable, growth-oriented pocket of Loma Linda.
