Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1984 (40 years old), the property is exceptionally well-maintained but remains dated. The kitchen features older oak cabinetry and tile, and the interior finishes like the carpet and wood trim reflect a style older than 20 years. While the whole-house generator and finished lower level are excellent functional additions, the core aesthetic and fixtures require updating to meet modern standards.
The property offers exceptional panoramic valley views, city lights, and unique cloud inversions, providing a high-value aesthetic appeal that defines the mountain living experience.
A finished 500 sq ft lower level with private access and its own deck increases the total usable living area to approximately 1,500 sq ft, offering flexibility for guests or a home office.
Equipped with a professionally maintained whole-house Generac backup generator and a powered workshop, the home is exceptionally well-prepared for mountain weather and utility outages.
At just 3,084 square feet, the lot is relatively small for the area, which may limit outdoor privacy and yard space compared to other mountain retreats.
The additional 500 square feet of living space is not reflected in public records, which could present challenges during the appraisal, financing, or permitting process.
Perched above the valley in one of Running Springs’ most scenic settings, this beautifully maintained mountain retreat offers panoramic valley views, breathtaking sunsets, sparkling evening city lights, and the rare beauty of winter cloud inversions that often place you above the clouds. Warm wood ceilings, natural finishes, and inviting living spaces create the timeless character buyers seek in a true mountain home. The spacious living room with its classic brick fireplace provides a cozy gathering place, while large windows frame the surrounding forest and distant valley beyond. The expansive view deck is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, outdoor dining, evening sunsets, or simply relax while taking in the ever-changing scenery throughout all four seasons. The home offers comfortable bedrooms, well-maintained bathrooms, generous storage, and a professionally maintained whole-house Generac backup generator, providing valuable peace of mind during mountain weather and unexpected power outages. A unique feature of the property is the finished lower level, offering approximately 500 square feet of additional usable space beyond the public record. Complete with heat, electricity, a laundry area, private exterior access, and its own deck, this versatile space is ideal for a family room, guest accommodations, home office, hobby room, fitness area, creative studio, or other flexible living needs. This additional space makes the total usable living space around 1500 sq ft. Just outside the lower level, a powered workshop and storage area provides exceptional flexibility for projects, tools, mountain gear, seasonal storage, or a dedicated workspace—an uncommon and highly practical feature for mountain living. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or peaceful mountain retreat, this property offers a rare combination of panoramic views, flexible living space, thoughtful updates, dependable backup power, and the beauty of all four seasons. From colorful autumn foliage and peaceful summer evenings to snow-covered winters, unforgettable sunsets, and sparkling city lights, this is a home designed to be enjoyed year-round.
