Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1961, this cabin is well over 50 years old but has received partial updates including newer Trex decking and custom wood walls upstairs. However, the laundry area features dated wallpaper and older appliances, and the bathroom shows basic plywood finishes despite a newer vanity. The property is functional and currently used as a rental, but the kitchen and systems likely require modernization to move beyond a dated status.
The property spans two parcels totaling 8,678 square feet with street-to-street access, offering significant room to build an ADU, garage, or guest house.
Features newer custom wood walls and Trex decking that provide a modern mountain aesthetic while reducing long-term exterior maintenance.
Dual patio areas offer a choice of sun or shade, complemented by a large heated jacuzzi tub and ample off-street parking for boats or RVs.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 1.
The third sleeping area is an open loft-style space rather than an enclosed bedroom, which may limit privacy for some families or renters.
Built in 1961, the property may require updates to older systems or insulation to meet modern energy efficiency standards compared to newer builds.
