Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980, this cabin is well-maintained but largely retains its original character and dated features. The kitchen contains 1980s-style wood cabinetry, laminate countertops, and older white appliances. While the flooring in some areas appears updated to laminate, the overall interior—including the heavy wood paneling, brick fireplace, and spiral staircase—shows signs of being outdated. It meets the 'fair' criteria as an aged property that is functional through regular upkeep but lacks major modern renovations.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 14810, living area = 1024.
Strategically built at the highest point of the lot, the home features expansive windows and pitched ceilings that maximize breathtaking panoramic mountain vistas from the main living areas.
The extra-large bonus room with a private entrance, 3/4 bath, and laundry area offers significant flexibility for use as a third bedroom, guest suite, or potential rental unit.
The use of a spiral staircase to access the lower level and a driveway located on a separate street may present mobility challenges or inconvenience for some residents.
At 1,024 square feet, the primary living space is relatively small, which may limit appeal for buyers seeking a more spacious mountain retreat or extensive storage.
This lovely mountain cabin was built at the very top of the property to maximize the magnificent views of this location. The driveway to the property is at 53453 Double View Rd. for accessibility. As you enter the home, you find a quaint foyer with big windows that display the amazing views. That same feeling and look is found throughout the living space. The open concept living space is enriched with the ambient lighting through those windows and pitched ceilings. 2 nicely-sized bedrooms on this main floor with the master having an ensuite bathroom. Down the spiral staircase is an extra large bonus room that can be used as a game room, extra living space, 3rd bedroom, etc. You will also find a 3/4 bathroom, and laundry area. It has its own access from the outside so the possibiltles are endless. This home is a must see.
