Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1968, this property is functional but significantly outdated, fitting the 'Fair' criteria of being aged with major components showing signs of being past their prime. The kitchen features dated tile countertops and older cabinetry, while the interior shows worn carpeting and 1970s-style wood paneling throughout. While the 'cabin-style' is a choice, the lack of modern renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring necessitates updates to meet current quality standards.
This home offers a rare 'Big Bear' cabin aesthetic in Lake Forest, featuring warm wood accents and a charming mountain-retreat atmosphere that provides a distinct alternative to standard suburban architecture.
With four bedrooms plus two distinct loft areas—including a private loft within the master suite—the property provides exceptional flexibility for home offices, creative studios, or guest accommodations.
Nestled among mature trees with a spacious outdoor deck, the property offers a peaceful, forest-like sanctuary and serene wooded views, creating a private escape rarely found in the city.
Originally built in 1968, the property may require updates to its core systems or specialized maintenance for its rustic wood features to ensure modern efficiency and safety.
The 4,800-square-foot lot is relatively compact for a home at this price point, which may restrict buyers looking for expansive yard space or significant outdoor expansion possibilities.
Welcome to your private forest escape — a charming cabin-style home nestled among mature trees in a peaceful, secluded community that doesn’t feel like the city. This home offers 4 bedrooms plus a main loft, providing flexible space for family, guests, or work. The master suite is thoughtfully separated into its own quarter for added privacy and includes its own private loft ideal for a reading nook, office, or extra sleeping area. Warm wood accents and a cozy layout create an inviting mountain-cabin atmosphere, with a spacious deck and outdoor areas perfect for morning coffee, stargazing, or entertaining surrounded by nature. Whether you’re seeking a full-time sanctuary or a weekend retreat with Big Bear vibes, this home blends rustic character with everyday comfort.
