About This Home

As of July 2025

Tucked beneath towering pines in beloved Skyforest, this Thunderbird-style cabin blends vintage character with refined sensibilities. Set on nearly an acre of forested land, the home offers the feeling of total seclusion—yet it’s just moments from favorites like LouEddie’s Pizza and Little Bear Bottleshop, and a quick drive from most of Los Angeles.

At the heart of the home, a massive original stone fireplace anchors the airy living room. The kitchen and bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated, complemented by custom cabinetry, wall to wall sisal carpet, artisanal tiles, real hardwood floors and curated finishes throughout. A whole-house water filtration system and tankless water heater bring comfort and efficiency, while multiple decks invite relaxed indoor/outdoor living in the trees. Say hello to the deer and squirrels as you explore the trails throughout the neighborhood.

With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this turn-key property is ready to enjoy or offer as a turnkey short-term rental.. Furnishings are negotiable.

A one-of-a-kind forest retreat with modern upgrades and income potential—don’t miss your chance to own this Skyforest gem.
