Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1961, the property is in move-in ready condition with several key updates that elevate it above a 'fair' rating. Interior images show well-maintained hardwood flooring, updated stainless steel kitchen appliances (wall oven and microwave), and modernized bathroom vanities with stone countertops and dual sinks. The addition of modern mini-split cooling/heating systems and a contemporary fireplace insert indicates that major systems have been addressed. While the kitchen cabinetry and wood paneling retain a vintage mountain aesthetic, the overall maintenance and selective modernizations meet the criteria for a 'good' condition score.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13939, living area = 2095.
The property is uniquely configured as two fully independent cabins with separate electrical meters and garages, providing excellent flexibility for rental income or a multi-generational mountain retreat.
Situated directly on Strawberry Creek with private deck access and a trail leading into the heart of town, this rare lot offers a perfect blend of natural serenity and village convenience.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2095, other record living area = 1875.
Originally built in 1961, the property may require ongoing maintenance or modernization of older systems and finishes to meet contemporary buyer expectations.
As the property is classified as a single-family residence on one lot rather than two separate parcels, there may be limitations regarding future subdivision or specific financing requirements.
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY ON THE CREEK! Properties like this are exceptionally rare in Idyllwild - a single family residence thoughtfully configured as two fully independent cabins, each with its own electrical meter and attached garage, situated on 0.32 acres in the heart of one of the mountain's most desirable locations. Built in 1961 and zoned R-3A (Village Tourist Residential), the property sits on Strawberry Creek with 2095 square feet total. Inside, both cabins have the mountain character you'd hope for: knotty pine interiors, vaulted ceilings, and full rock fireplaces. Each kitchen features an island with a built-in range, a breakfast bar, and a separate dining area. Cabin "A" offers 2 bedrooms, a full bath, an ensuite half bath, laundry hookups in the attached garage, and a private deck with direct access to Strawberry Creek. Cabin "B" has 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and its own private deck. The setting does the rest. A newly developed trail runs along Strawberry Creek right behind the property and walks you into the heart of town in minutes. Mature lilacs and landscaping out front. Quiet private street. Park and community center next door. Live in one cabin and rent the other long-term, or open both into a four-bedroom mountain retreat. Either way, a property this well-configured and this well-located on Strawberry Creek doesn't come up twice in Idyllwild.
