About This Home

Welcome home to your mid century, blank canvas, just waiting to be a show stopper! Enjoy breathtaking views of LIly Rock and the Idyllwild valley from this spacious four bedroom home with an office and versatile floor plan. Step out onto brand-new redwood decking and take in breathtaking, unobstructed views of iconic Lily Rock and Tahquitz Peak. The entry offers a large open kitchen and dining area that wrap around an open mid cetury style staircase, into the oversized Living room with vaulted ceiling and woodburning stove. There is a bedroom and 3/4 bath on that main level for convenience and for those wanting to age in place. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with a full bath and views from every window. Downstairs you'll find a billiard room, two additional bedrooms - one could be an office, a 3/4 bath, laundry, deck and porch leading out to the yard. The property sits on almost 1/2 acre with over 2,300 sq.ft. inside and offers a circle drive for ease in the winter months. All decking has been refurbished so bring the family or retreat group or separate the downstairs into its own domain - making an income producing unit with seperate entrance and deck. Versatility makes this one amazing!
