About This Home

Kentwood Roost: Affordable Mountain Living in the Heart of Julian — Tucked into the peaceful community of Kentwood in the Pines, just five minutes from historic downtown Julian, this inviting mountain home offers the perfect opportunity for a young family, first-time buyer, or anyone seeking an affordable foothold in one of San Diego County’s most charming mountain towns. —Set beneath a canopy of beautiful black oaks, this thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bath home spans two levels, offering a private bedroom and full bath on each floor—an ideal layout for a growing family, guest accommodations, or flexible living arrangements. An additional open loft-style room upstairs overlooks the living area below and provides the perfect space for a home office, art studio, reading nook, or additional living area. —The main living area feels open and airy, enhanced by skylights that bring in abundant natural light, along with attractive hardwood and tile floors that add warmth and durability. A cozy wood stove creates a welcoming mountain ambiance during cooler seasons. Sliding glass doors lead to a view balcony where you can enjoy morning coffee, peaceful treetop vistas, and fresh mountain air, while a screened-in second-story balcony offers a comfortable outdoor retreat. —Set on a fully fenced and cross-fenced 0.33-acre lot, the property is wonderfully pet-friendly and ready for backyard adventures. There’s room for a manageable garden, play space, or even a small homestead setup. Several mature peach trees produce seasonal fruit and add to the property’s garden charm, while a greenhouse thoughtfully converted into a chicken coop adds character and country-living potential. The dedicated laundry/mudroom with a private exterior entrance keeps mountain living organized and convenient, and a large basement storage area provides excellent space for tools, outdoor gear, seasonal items, or hobby equipment. A good-sized storage shed offers additional space for equipment and projects, and a propane generator provides peace of mind and backup power when needed. —Located just minutes from downtown Julian’s shops, restaurants, cider houses, and bakeries, you’ll enjoy easy access to local favorites like apple orchards, wine tasting, hiking trails, horseback riding, and nearby Lake Cuyamaca for fishing and boating. Explore the Santa Ysabel Preserve, spend weekends at seasonal festivals, or enjoy stargazing in Julian’s crisp mountain skies. —Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or investment property, Kentwood Roost offers warmth, flexibility, and that sought-after mountain lifestyle.
