Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modernization: The property is a 'fully modernized mountain cabin' with a 'complete hillside transformation,' including new hickory wood flooring, modern lighting, a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, new windows and doors, a new roof, and refreshed landscaping, indicating a move-in ready condition.
Exceptional Views & Natural Setting: Offers 'breathtaking views of Tahquitz Rock (Lily Rock) and Suicide Rock through dramatic clerestory windows,' 'forest views on all sides,' and is 'nestled along a serene seasonal creek,' providing a strong connection to nature and aesthetic appeal.
Year-Round Comfort & Energy Efficiency: Equipped with '5 new electric mini-split heating/AC units' and a 'wood-burning high efficiency stove w/catalytic converter for near-zero emissions,' ensuring optimal comfort and potentially lower energy costs throughout the year.
Thoughtful Layout & Premium Amenities: Features a practical layout with 'both bedrooms conveniently located on the main level,' a 'custom primary suite,' and a 'finished garage featuring an EV charger, built-in cabinetry, fridge, and sink,' enhancing functionality and convenience.
Prime Mountain Location: Ideally situated 'close to town and scenic hiking trails,' offering easy access to local amenities and abundant outdoor recreational opportunities.

Cons

Seasonal Creek: The property is 'nestled along a serene seasonal creek,' which implies the water feature may not be present year-round, potentially reducing its appeal for buyers desiring a constant water presence.
Limited Bedroom Count: With only 2 bedrooms, despite a flexible den/office space, the property might not adequately accommodate larger families or those requiring more dedicated private sleeping quarters.
Age of Original Structure: While extensively modernized, the property was originally built in 1970, meaning the underlying foundation and core structure are over 50 years old, which could be a consideration for some buyers regarding long-term maintenance or potential unseen issues not covered by recent renovations.
