This 1940s cabin is well-maintained and retains its original rustic charm, but it is significantly outdated by modern standards. The kitchen features vintage appliances and cabinetry likely dating back several decades, and the single bathroom serves five bedrooms with period-correct but aged fixtures. While the property appears clean and functional with some minor updates like track lighting, the 'as-is' sale condition and 80-year-old systems suggest a need for modernization and potential deferred maintenance typical of its age.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10454, living area = 1400.
Situated just a quarter-mile from downtown Idyllwild, this property offers exceptional walkability to local shops and dining while maintaining a private, treed setting on a gated flag lot.
