Built in 1940, this cabin is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen features older tile counters and the bathroom is basic. While it has some modern touches like an EV charger and wall AC, the overall finishes and layout reflect its age and will require updates to meet modern standards.
This charming 1940s cabin features authentic details like exposed beam ceilings and a potbelly stove, seamlessly blended with modern upgrades including a 220V EV charging outlet and wall-mounted AC.
Situated at the edge of the Cleveland National Forest, the property offers an idyllic retreat with immediate access to hiking and biking trails while remaining conveniently close to North and South Orange County.
The absence of HOA dues and Mello Roos, combined with a low tax rate, provides a cost-effective opportunity for homeownership or a vacation getaway in a desirable rural setting.
With only 635 square feet of living space, the interior is quite intimate, which may pose challenges for those requiring more room or traditional bedroom privacy.
The washer and dryer are located in an outdoor storage shed rather than inside the main home, which may be inconvenient during inclement weather or for those seeking modern interior utility.
Nestled in the hills of Silverado Canyon, this charming cabin makes it easy to forget you are only minutes from South and North Orange County. Enjoy the easy feel of a getaway, with a home full of character from the moment you enter. White plank ceilings with exposed beams run through the main rooms and keep things bright and open. The kitchen has tile counters with German hand-painted accent tiles and light wood cabinets, opening to the dining area where a cast iron potbelly stove rests on a brick hearth. The living space features hardwood floors and flows into the bedroom and full bathroom nearby. Upstairs, a versatile loft serves as a second bedroom or den with a skylight, hillside views, and plenty of storage. Out front, fencing surrounds your patio garden area with low-maintenance landscaping. Out back, the patio is paved in flagstone and ready for outdoor hangouts. A storage shed holds the washer and dryer plus the rest of your outdoor gear, and the driveway fits two cars, which is a great bonus for the area. There is a wall-mounted AC unit and a 220V outlet outside for EV charging. This location puts hiking and biking trails, horse facilities, local eateries, a nature preschool, the Silverado Park and Community Center, a community garden, well-regarded schools, and the public library all close by, with the Cleveland National Forest right at your back door. Low tax rate, no HOA dues, no Mello Roos. The result is a peaceful canyon retreat with character, close to everything while still feeling a world away.
