The property is offered mostly furnished and in turnkey condition, providing an immediate opportunity for a vacation home or an income-producing short-term rental without the need for additional setup.
Situated in the highly sought-after upper Fern Valley on a rare flat, usable lot, this property offers a prestigious address combined with accessible outdoor space that is uncommon in mountain terrain.
Originally built in 1964, the home may require more frequent maintenance or future upgrades to its core systems compared to newer constructions, despite recent cosmetic updates.
At 1,280 square feet for a three-bedroom layout, the interior space may feel confined, particularly in the upstairs bedrooms where the A-frame roofline typically restricts headroom and storage.
