Pros & Cons

Pros

Built-in Income Potential: A highly significant and rare detached 750 sq ft ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) offers proven income potential, a superior guest house, or an art studio, adding substantial value and flexibility.
Prime Location & Natural Sanctuary: Perfectly positioned next to the renowned Idyllwild Arts Academy on a quiet, private road, with a private gate opening directly onto Strawberry Creek, providing a serene and exclusive mountain retreat.
Luxury Finishes & Modern Comforts: Meticulously maintained 2007-built home featuring exquisite custom finishes, a gourmet kitchen with premium built-in refrigerator, upgraded stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a custom river rock fireplace, and central air for year-round comfort.

Exceptional Outdoor Amenities & Privacy: The oversized, fully fenced property ensures privacy, complemented by a private gate to Strawberry Creek and covered, gated RV parking, enhancing the outdoor lifestyle and utility.

Cons

Niche Market Appeal: Idyllwild is a specific mountain community, which may appeal to a narrower buyer demographic, potentially affecting market time and resale liquidity compared to properties in broader markets.
High School District Discrepancy: The listed 'Inglewood Unified' high school district is geographically inconsistent with Idyllwild, likely a data error, which could cause confusion or concern for potential family buyers researching school options.
Potential Overpricing: The current list price of $799,000 is approximately 3% higher than the estimated property value of $771,455, which may require strong justification or a price adjustment to attract competitive offers.
