Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1981, this property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, but falls into the 'Fair' category due to its age (>20 years) and dated interior finishes. The kitchen features older oak cabinetry and tile work likely from a 15-30 year old renovation, despite having updated stainless steel appliances. While the HVAC system is functional and the structure appears solid, the overall aesthetic requires modernization to meet current market standards.
The property boasts breathtaking, unobstructed panoramic views of Lily Rock and the surrounding pines, a highly coveted feature that significantly enhances its value and appeal in the Idyllwild market.
