Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1988 (36 years old), the property requires a full rehab. Interior images reveal an incomplete kitchen missing appliances and cabinet doors, a broken window, and significant staining or markings on the walls and floors. The listing description explicitly invites buyers to 'bring your vision,' confirming the home is not in move-in condition.
At 2,184 square feet with a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom configuration, this property offers significantly more interior volume and utility than the average mountain cabin.
The rare combination of a 2-car garage and additional potential for RV parking provides exceptional convenience and storage for mountain residents and outdoor enthusiasts.
The property is situated on a generous lot featuring mature trees and mountain views, capturing the quintessential natural beauty and privacy of the Idyllwild area.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 2.
The significant variance between the 5-bedroom listing and the 2-bedroom county record suggests potential unpermitted spaces, which may complicate financing and appraisals.
Marketed as a 'vision' project, the home likely requires substantial cosmetic or structural updates to modernize the 1988 construction and reach its full market value.
