Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

The property is a well-maintained 1922 cabin that is move-in ready, but it fits the 'fair' criteria due to its age and the timing of its updates. While the kitchen is described as updated, the images show older white appliances, tile countertops, and cabinetry styles consistent with renovations from 15-30 years ago. The flooring consists of older stone-pattern vinyl and original wood planks. Although functional and charming with newer Anderson windows, the home lacks a recent comprehensive renovation and features dated interior aesthetics.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Historical Pedigree

    Known as the 'love nest' of Greta Garbo and John Gilbert, this 1922 cabin features unique historical character and an autographed kitchen wall, providing a rare and compelling narrative for buyers.

  • Versatile Guest Suite

    The property includes a separate 240 sqft unit with its own entrance and full bath, offering excellent flexibility for use as a mother-in-law suite, home office, or potential rental opportunity.

  • Prime Outdoor Setting

    Situated on a rare level lot near Mill Creek and major hiking trails, the home offers exceptional access to nature with ample parking for up to 12 vehicles, which is uncommon for mountain properties.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 992, other record living area = 660. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.

  • Century-Old Maintenance

    Built in 1922, the home's age may necessitate specialized upkeep or future infrastructure updates common with vintage mountain residences.

  • Compact Living Area

    With only 992 square feet of interior space, the small footprint may be restrictive for buyers requiring larger living quarters or significant indoor storage.

About 9112 Torrey Pines Road

GRETA GARBO & JOHN GILBERT’S LOVE NEST! They almost certainly stayed here once the 1925 “Flesh and the Devil” filming ended – they autographed the kitchen wall along w/ many others! Located in a beautiful wooded setting w/ tall cedars & oaks. There’s ~ 113 ft of street frontage for this 4-season home. It’s a perfect getaway from the May-gray, June-gloom of LA or the sweltering Palm Springs summer. The spacious rustic living rm includes a wood plank ceiling, lrg Anderson double pane wndws, stone fireplace w/ thick log mantle & redwood wainscoting. Roomy upstairs mstr bdrm has lrg wndws w/ dramatic views & ample closets. The updated kitchen is very functional & features a large fireplace w/ insert. This well-laid-out home also has a 2nd bdrm ~ 240 sqft w/ full bth. Could be used as a mother-in-law suite or as a separate unit w/ its own entrance. In winter, the house stays cozy w/ the fireplaces or 2 radiant very efficient propane heaters. Flooring is mostly stone pattern vinyl, w/ original clear-grain spruce planks upstairs. There’s also an A-shaped storage attic ~160 sqft w/ a pull-down stairway. Outside is an 11x16 storage shed. The property is very level by mtn standards, w/ some stone terracing & many hardy iris plants. There’s 2 outdoor dining areas (main garden & 1 for sunsets). 4 vehicles can street park & a loop driveway that holds ~8! It’s w/in 500 ft of Mill Creek, which can be heard in the quiet evenings. Low HOA includes water, side-road snowplowing, & a trash shed. This idyllic property is ~ 1 mi from dwntwn Forest Falls (w/ general store, gift shop, great Mexican restaurant & art gallery). The church, school & post office are ~ 1/2 mi. You’ve probably never heard of Forest Falls, because we have no lake. It also doesn’t have outrageous tourist traffic. The San Bernardino Nat’l Forest & Sand-to-Snow Nat’l Monument surround the community. Only 1 home away from Mill Creek & a hiking trail into the Nat’l Forest, its ~ a 2 mi drive to view scenic Big Falls (at 500 ft, it’s the tallest all-year waterfall in SoCal), & + 1/2 mi to Vivian Creek Trailhead to climb Mt San Gorgonio (tallest mtn in SoCal at 11,503 ft). Forest Falls has easy, safe road access ~ 20 mins to dwntwn Yucaipa & I-10, ~ 60 mins to PS. LA is ~ 80 mi away, west on Hwy 38 to Redlands, then I-10. Summer high temps ~ 85F, winter low ~15F w/ almost constant daytime sunshine during the damp, chill months of LA’s “May-grey June-gloom” and we’re ~ 20 deg cooler than PS’s sweltering summers
