Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1936, this 'vintage' property is exceptionally well-maintained and features updated systems like central air and a generator. However, the interior is heavily dated with original-style wood paneling and a galley kitchen featuring an antique stove. It fits the 'Fair' criteria as it is over 20 years old without a recent full renovation and would require cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
This 1936 residence features authentic architectural details like vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, a granite fireplace, and a classic O'Keefe Merritt stove, offering a unique and highly desirable mountain aesthetic.
The property comes fully furnished and includes coveted Lake Rights, plus modern upgrades like central air and a backup generator, making it an ideal immediate vacation rental or second home.
Unlike many mountain properties with steep terrain, this home offers a rare level entry and a four-car asphalt driveway, providing ease of access and ample parking for guests.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
The 4,800 sqft lot is relatively compact for the Lake Arrowhead area, which may limit outdoor privacy and space for future structural expansions.
