About this home

Private Mountain Retreat -Two Homes in One, Steps from Idyllwild Arts Academy. Situated just down the street from the prestigious Idyllwild Arts Academy, this secluded property offers the rare opportunity to own not one, but two completely separate residences. The main home exudes rustic mountain charm with its warm redwood exterior, beamed ceilings, and expansive decks, while a fully independent 500 sq ft, 1-bedroom cabin sits privately above the garage with its own exclusive entrance; ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. Inside the main home, natural light fills the gorgeous sunroom, which opens to a versatile bonus space perfect for an indoor hot tub or lounge area to enjoy snowy winter nights in comfort. The spacious living room features vaulted beamed ceilings, a fireplace, and picture windows that frame the forested setting. Expansive decks with a built-in bar and BBQ area create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Terraced landscaping, mature trees, and a tranquil fountain enhance the sense of privacy, while the detached two-car garage and additional driveway parking provide convenience. Both residences offering complete independence. Homeowner Favorites: Relaxing or reading on the back decks in complete privacy, surrounded by nature. Sitting on the front porch with a fountain view, watching birds come and go while listening to their songs. Enjoying the absolute peace and silence of the evenings, with sunlight streaming into the living room and office space in summertime. Watching snowstorms in winter through the large living room windows. Walking through the fragrant lilac bushes in springtime on the way to the front door and admiring the changing colors of fruit trees and lilacs in fall as the sun sets. This property is ideal as a year-round home, vacation retreat, or exclusive dual-income investment.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1976, this property exhibits a well-maintained but significantly dated aesthetic. The kitchen features original-style white cabinets, laminate countertops, and older white appliances, indicating no major renovation in several decades. Bathrooms also show dated wood vanities, basic tile work, and older light fixtures. While the property appears clean and functional, with some minor updates like mini-split AC units, the overall style and features of the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring (mix of older hardwood, tile, and carpet) are outdated and would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. It is aged but maintained, fitting the 'fair' category.

Cons

Significant Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price reductions, from an original list price of $705,000 down to $639,000, which may indicate initial overpricing or challenges in attracting buyers at previous price points.
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1976, the property's age suggests that major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or require updating, which could lead to future capital expenditures for a buyer.
