About this home

Welcome to this fully restored 1923 cabin on River Drive, one of the most desirable streets in Idyllwild. Located on a corner lot very close to Strawberry Creek access and downtown Idyllwild, this amazing 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin at the corner of River and Fir has it all: upgraded electrical, plumbing, new foundation, new insulation, new appliances, new HVAC, completely upgraded kitchen and bathroom with handmade pine slab countertops, washer and dryer, skylights, and a new deck with views. But many of the original features, like the hardwood floors, river rock fireplace, walls, river rock chimney, windows, etc., were lovingly restored to maintain and highlight the cabin's original beauty. This incredibly charming cabin boasts a large living room and separate dining room, as well as a storage shed/workshop and laundry area. The .17 flat lot has plenty of room to add a garage, too. Imagine having coffee on your new handmade log bench on your new deck as you watch the sun rise over the mountain ridge. Properties on River Drive rarely come on the market. Make sure not to miss this amazing gem in the pines!

Cons

Compact Interior Footprint: At 906 sqft, the living space is relatively modest, which may not accommodate buyers seeking larger homes or extensive entertaining areas.
Limited Bedroom Count: With only two bedrooms, the property may not suit larger families or those requiring additional dedicated spaces like a home office or guest room.
Perceived Age-Related Maintenance: Despite extensive restoration, some buyers may still perceive a 1923-built home as potentially requiring more ongoing maintenance or having unforeseen issues compared to newer construction.
