While built in 1984, the main residence shows recent cosmetic renovations (likely <5 years) including modern LVP flooring, white subway tile backsplash, and updated kitchen counters. The property is well-maintained and move-in ready with high-value systems like owned solar. However, the guest house and secondary bathrooms retain dated oak cabinetry and older tile flooring, preventing an 'Excellent' rating.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 358498, living area = 3150.
The property features a detached 2-bedroom guest house, providing exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, a private home office, or potential rental income opportunities.
Situated on over 8 private acres with mature oaks and mountain views, this estate offers a rare level of seclusion and natural beauty while remaining minutes from downtown Julian.
The main residence contains four bedrooms but only two bathrooms, which may be a functional drawback for larger families or guests compared to modern luxury standards.
