The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 15682, living area = 1255.
The cabin features significant updates including a remodeled kitchen with hand-crafted tile, designer bathrooms with a jetted soaking tub, and essential HVAC and drainage improvements.
Situated on a street-to-street lot with frontage on two roads, the property offers immediate access to renowned hiking trails like Ernie Maxwell and May Valley.
The property is subject to a monthly association fee, which is an additional recurring cost not always found with traditional mountain cabins in the area.
Originally built in 1955, the home may require more frequent maintenance than newer builds, and the reliance on virtual staging suggests the physical space may lack current furnishings.
Nestled along a forested lane off the beaten path, this updated Idyllwild cabin is a rare find for buyers seeking authentic mountain living without sacrificing comfort. The circular approach passes a detached garage and beautifully constructed stone terracing, arriving at a generous front deck with peaceful ridge views that set the tone the moment you arrive. Inside, the main living area centers around a brick accent wall with a newly installed propane fireplace, custom-shuttered dual-pane windows, and a refreshed kitchen appointed with a casual dining bar, propane cooktop, and hand-crafted tile detail. The remodeled full bath is a true highlight, complete with a deep jetted soaking tub and designer vanity. The main-level bedroom offers a comfortable and restful retreat. Upstairs, a light-filled bedroom suite spans the entire length of the home, featuring charming dormer windows, a three-quarter bath, laundry hookups, and a private exit to a newly built back deck. Large windows throughout the home bring in abundant natural light and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Practical upgrades round out the package, including HVAC improvements, French drains, partial fencing, and a street-to-street lot with frontage on both Tahquitz View Drive and Lilac Lane. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the convenient access to Ernie Maxwell, Southridge, and May Valley Truck trails, all just moments away. The property also benefits from a minimal monthly HOA fee.
