Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1970, the property is well-maintained but features dated interior finishes. The kitchen and bathrooms show older cabinetry and 1970s-style tile work that exceeds the 20-year threshold for updates. While the home includes modern system upgrades such as solar panels and mini-split HVAC units, the overall aesthetic and original wood paneling require cosmetic modernization.
The property features a fully self-contained lower-level unit with two bedrooms, a kitchen, and private access, making it ideal for short-term rental income or multigenerational living.
Rare for a mountain retreat, the home includes an in-ground pool and jacuzzi, complemented by a rooftop deck and wraparound balconies that maximize panoramic mountain views.
The property offers extensive storage and hobby space, including a detached two-car garage with a 2-post lift and loft, plus an additional attached one-car garage.
Built in 1970, the large three-story footprint combined with specialized features like a pool and solar system may result in higher-than-average upkeep and utility maintenance.
The three-story design and loft-style architecture may present accessibility challenges for buyers seeking single-level living or those with mobility concerns.
**Seller is willing to pay up to $12,000 in rate buy down or buyer could also apply that to closing cost.** Set against the backdrop of Idyllwild’s breathtaking natural beauty, this exceptional three-story mountain retreat offers a rare blend of versatility, views, and lifestyle. Situated on a spacious lot, the property is thoughtfully designed to capture sweeping panoramic vistas from multiple outdoor living spaces, including a stunning rooftop deck and an expansive wraparound upper deck, perfect for entertaining or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. The main residence features three bedrooms and an open concept floor plan with soaring ceilings and abundant natural light, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere. A loft space adds flexibility for additional living, office, or creative use, and direct access to the rooftop deck, while the seamless flow between kitchen, dining, and living areas enhances both everyday comfort and hosting. Adding significant value and opportunity, the home includes a separate lower-level unit complete with its own full kitchen, two bedrooms, and bathroom, along with private access, ideal for rental income, guest accommodations, or multigenerational living. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a in-ground pool and jacuzzi set against the mountain landscape, a fully fenced yard ideal for dogs, and dedicated space for gardening, offering a true blend of recreation and functionality. Additional features include solar for energy efficiency, a detached two-car garage equipped with a 2-post lift and loft area, plus an additional one-car attached garage with access to the house, providing ample space for vehicles, storage, or hobby use. This is a unique opportunity to own a property that delivers on design, flexibility, and income potential, all while embracing the very best of mountain living.
