About This Home

As of September 2021

Welcome to the Treehouse! The story of a much-loved home surrounded by whispering pines and a babbling creek began when a young couple brought their parents to Idyllwild for a daytime excursion to escape the desert hea and a leisurely lunch ended up with the couple buying this property. Rustic charm meets some touches of glamour. The deck surrounding the living room provides sun, shade, and privacy with an easement on one side. This well-maintained home has welcomed four generations of family, many friends, neighbors and perhaps a celebrity or two for charming weekend getaways, picnics, barbecues on the deck, stargazing in the hammock, celebrations at the festivals, hikes, and village shop treasure-hunting. Features include the main bedroom suite downstairs, plus a full 2nd bath downstairs, wood-burning fireplace, an upper bedroom loft with a bath and walk-in closet. The bright & sunny eat-in kitchen, mirrored living room walls reflecting the trees surrounding the home, and well-maintained deck create the best indoor-outdoor experience. This sweet home is ready for you to create your own happy memories and will be sold fully furnished. Call LA to schedule an appointment.
