641 Summit View Dr Arnold, CA 95223

First time ever on the market, this chalet was hand-built 40 years ago by a family of artisans and craftsmen/contractors as their own special mountain retreat to gather the family together. Four bedrooms, a loft for extra sleeping and/or play space, one full bathroom and one half bath. Enjoy this cherished cabin as-is in its vintage form, or update the flooring and add your personal touches to create an amazing one-of-a-kind chalet that will be as much of a conversation piece as it is a special place for your family to create memories and adventures in the mountains. Now in her nineties, the owner personally designed and soldered the numerous stained-glass windows throughout the cabin with the help of her husband and children. The family also built many of the unique doors (interior and exterior) by hand from solid wood, as well as the cabinetry in the bathrooms and kitchen and the built-ins and window seats in the bedrooms and loft. The inviting composite deck is a recent update that is low maintenance and snow/pest resistant. The cabin also features central heating, a newer septic system, and numerous new light fixtures. You'll appreciate the entry-level mud room and large storage/laundry room with a sink, convenient for cleaning and storing gear after your outdoor adventures. You will also enjoy cabin's location, perched above it all amid the peacefulness of the forest yet still not too far from town, at the top of Lilac Park, a neighborhood known for its abundance of native dogwood trees that put on a show both spring and fall. If cookie-cutter isn't your thing and you've been searching for the elusive unicorn cabin, you may have just found it.
