Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1946 cabin is exceptionally well-maintained and charming, but it remains largely in its vintage state. The kitchen features older multi-colored tile countertops and a vintage-style range, while the bathrooms and bedrooms show dated fixtures, wallpaper, and wood paneling. While functional and move-in ready for a rustic retreat, the property lacks the modern renovations or recent system updates required for a higher score, fitting the 'fair' criteria of an aged home maintained through regular upkeep.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10019, living area = 1107.
The property features a separate studio guest cottage complete with its own 3/4 bath and laundry, providing excellent flexibility for a home office, guest quarters, or potential rental income.
Built in 1946, this cabin retains classic rustic appeal with a brick fireplace and free-standing stove, offering the quintessential Idyllwild retreat experience that buyers highly value.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1107, other record living area = 830. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Given the home's 1946 origin, buyers should anticipate potential needs for updates to older systems and ongoing maintenance typical of historic mountain cabins.
With a total of 1,107 square feet divided between the main house and the guest cottage, the individual living areas may feel restrictive for those requiring larger interior footprints.

Inside, the cozy living room welcomes you with a classic brick fireplace, creating the perfect spot for quiet evenings and weekend getaways. The dining area features a free-standing stove, adding both warmth and that sought-after rustic character buyers love. With two comfortable bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, and a flexible bonus sleeping space, there's room to host, relax, or create your own private nook. What truly sets this property apart is the added studio guest cottage--complete with its own 3/4 bath and stacked washer/dryer--offering incredible versatility for guests, extended stays, or even a creative studio. Outside, enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening on the covered front patio, surrounded by towering pines and the peaceful sounds of nature. The spacious outdoor patio makes entertaining effortless while embracing the serene mountain lifestyle.
