Set against the iconic backdrop of Lily Rock and Tahquitz Peak, this charming mountain studio cabin captures the essence of Idyllwild living. A welcoming Dutch door entry invites you into a warm interior featuring stained glass windows, a vintage kitchen with generous pantry space and a step-down dining or breakfast nook framed by bay windows that perfectly showcase the views. The living room offers a cozy retreat with a brick fireplace, built-ins, wood storage, and original windows overlooking the patio and expansive wood deck beyond. Comfort meets character with a wood stove and efficient mini-split system providing both heat and air conditioning. The remodeled 3/4 bath includes a tankless water heater for modern convenience. The sliding glass door opens to a spacious patio and deck, ideal for relaxing or entertaining under the pines. Set on an oversized, fully fenced .32-acre lot, the grounds are dotted with dramatic boulders and native manzanita trees. Wander through this natural landscape to a separate studio space-perfect as a home office, art studio, or game room-offering flexibility and inspiration in a truly magical mountain setting.
