Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a 1946 cabin with a major addition and roof from 1992 (34 years ago). While key systems like the septic (2010), furnace (2011), and foundation (2015) have been updated within the last 11-16 years, the interior aesthetics—including wallpaper, wood paneling, acoustic ceiling tiles, and bathroom fixtures—are significantly dated and reflect the 30+ year old renovation. It is functional and well-maintained but requires cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 14375, living area = 1060.
The property boasts critical infrastructure improvements including a reinforced foundation, newer septic system (2010), updated furnace (2011), and dual-pane windows, reducing immediate capital expenditure for a buyer.
The mention of short-term rental eligibility combined with the cabin's charming aesthetic and architecturally designed dining area makes it a highly attractive option for the vacation rental market.
With only 1,060 square feet and a 1940s floor plan, the living space and upstairs sleeping arrangements may feel restrictive for those accustomed to modern, spacious interiors.
The property currently lacks a garage or carport, leaving vehicles exposed to mountain elements, though there is potential room to add one in the future.
Short Term Rental MAY BE AN OPTION with this charming cabin, situated on a hill occupying 1/3 of an acre, featuring many updates that you can and cannot see! There was a new permitted addition and roof done in 1992, new front deck 2026, new septic in 2010, new furnace 2011, foundation reinforced with permits and storage area in 2015, plus dual pane windows and updated doors. The cabin offers 1,060 square feet with a cozy living room with river rock woodburning fireplace, large open kitchen that flows into the architecturally designed, by David Lilliholm, dining/breakfast area with wonderful windows bringing the forest inside. There is a full bath downstairs for convenience. Upstairs is a guest sleeping area with small closet and access to the 1/2 bath with low flow toilet. The primary bedroom is also upstairs and is good size. There is potentially room for a carport. Great opportunity on a county maintained street for easy access all year round. Make this your cozy get-a-way from it all this season.
