Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1962, this home is well-maintained but largely dated. While the description mentions a remodeled laundry and third bath, the kitchen features older knotty pine cabinetry and appliances exceeding the 20-year threshold. Additionally, the presence of older wall heaters instead of a modern central HVAC system and original wood paneling throughout places this in the 'Fair' category, as it is functional but needs cosmetic and system updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 14374, living area = 1665.
The inclusion of a large attached 2-car garage and ample driveway parking is a significant rarity in Idyllwild, offering superior convenience and storage compared to neighboring properties.
The property sits on a fully-fenced .33-acre lot that includes an additional vacant parcel, providing rare privacy, outdoor entertaining space, and potential for future expansion.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =14374, other record lot size in square feet = 7405. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
The laundry room and third bathroom are located downstairs off the garage, which may be inconvenient for residents compared to a fully integrated single-level utility layout.
While charming, the extensive 1960s original wood paneling and built-ins may require specialized maintenance or significant investment for buyers preferring a more contemporary mountain aesthetic.
