More Insights

Built in 1997 (29 years old).
Condition: Built in 1997, this property is well-maintained and appears to have had regular upkeep. The kitchen features high-end appliances (Sub Zero, new wall oven/range hood) and granite countertops, which are strong points. However, the 'midcentury style' kitchen, the specific blue/green carpet throughout, and the bathroom styles (e.g., brass shower enclosure, decorative tile borders, wood tones) are consistent with its build era and show signs of being outdated rather than recently renovated to modern standards. While functional and clean, these elements prevent a 'Good' score, placing it firmly in the 'Fair' category where minor updates are needed to modernize the aesthetic.

About this home

SURROUNDED BY NATURE. A stunning house with beautiful views from every room. On a cul-de-sac in upper Fern Valley, this 1997 custom home is sited in harmony with the property's striking natural setting. The cathedral ceilinged great room, with floor to ceiling ledge-stone fireplace, frames through a wall of multi-level windows famous Lily Rock and surrounding National Forest across Tahquitz Creek. A midcentury style kitchen features spacious cabinets and high-end dishwasher, gas cooktop, built-in microwave, Sub Zero refrigerator, and new wall oven and range hood. The house's multi-level design has a private bedroom and bath on each level with individual decks and distinct views. The spacious main bedroom's many windows frame Lily Rock on one side while a home office area overlooks Suicide Rock on the other. An energy saving on demand hot water system services the entire house, including the primary bath with marble shower and hot tub. There is a spacious separate laundry room and an attached single car garage with workshop and pantry areas. Finally, a large roof top deck has spectacular daytime views of Lily Rock and the forest, and dark starry skies at night.
