About this home

Welcome home to your mid century, blank canvas, just waiting to be a show stopper! Enjoy breathtaking views of LIly Rock and the Idyllwild valley from this spacious four bedroom home with an office and versatile floor plan. Step out onto brand-new redwood decking and take in breathtaking, unobstructed views of iconic Lily Rock and Tahquitz Peak. The entry offers a large open kitchen and dining area that wrap around an open mid cetury style staircase, into the oversized Living room with vaulted ceiling and woodburning stove. There is a bedroom and 3/4 bath on that main level for convenience and for those wanting to age in place. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with a full bath and views from every window. Downstairs you'll find a billiard room, two additional bedrooms - one could be an office, a 3/4 bath, laundry, deck and porch leading out to the yard. The property sits on almost 1/2 acre with over 2,300 sq.ft. inside and offers a circle drive for ease in the winter months. All decking has been refurbished so bring the family or retreat group or separate the downstairs into its own domain - making an income producing unit with seperate entrance and deck. Versatility makes this one amazing!

Built in 1981, this property is well-maintained with recent exterior updates like brand-new redwood decking. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, shows its age. The kitchen features dated wood cabinets, older countertops, and a mix of appliance ages (some newer stainless steel, some older white). Bathrooms appear functional but not recently renovated in style. The overall aesthetic is clean and livable, but consistent with a home that hasn't undergone a major renovation in the last 15-30 years, making it a 'blank canvas' for a buyer looking to update.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Breathtaking Views: The property offers stunning, unobstructed views of iconic Lily Rock, Tahquitz Peak, the Idyllwild valley, mountains, and trees/woods from multiple vantage points and every window.
Versatile Floor Plan & Income Potential: The multi-level layout allows for diverse uses, including separating the downstairs into an income-producing unit with a separate entrance and deck, or accommodating a large family or retreat group.
Spacious Living & Large Lot: With over 2,300 sq.ft. of interior space and sitting on almost 1/2 acre, the property provides ample room for living and outdoor activities.
Recent Outdoor Upgrades: The property features brand-new redwood decking and all existing decking has been refurbished, enhancing outdoor living and curb appeal.
Main Level Accessibility: A bedroom and 3/4 bath on the main level offers convenience and suitability for multi-generational living or those desiring to age in place.

Cons

Requires Renovation/Updates: Described as a 'blank canvas, just waiting to be a show stopper,' the property implies significant cosmetic or functional updates may be needed to realize its full potential and appeal to modern tastes.
Mid-Century Style (Potential for Dated Interiors): While 'mid-century' can be a desirable style, combined with the 'blank canvas' description and 1981 build year, the interiors may be dated and require substantial investment for modernization.
Age of Property: Built in 1981, the property is over 40 years old, which could mean older systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may require future maintenance, repair, or replacement.
