Private Strawberry Creek Access, Custom Craftsman Home, Steps from Idyllwild Arts This is the kind of Idyllwild home that does not come up often. Tucked away on a quiet road right next to Idyllwild Arts, this custom built 2007 Craftsman inspired home sits in one of the most peaceful Strawberry Creekside settings you can find. The real magic is in the land. The oversized fenced property has a private gate that opens directly to Strawberry Creek, giving you your own peaceful creek access right from the backyard. Morning coffee, kids exploring, pets running safely inside the chain link fenced yard, or just hearing the water and trees around you, this home has that rare mountain feeling that people come to Idyllwild for. Inside, the home is clean, warm, and very well cared for. It features a flexible 3 bedroom layout with 2.5 bathrooms, including a downstairs primary bedroom with a large walk in shower and direct access to an expansive private deck. The upstairs office can also work as an optional bedroom, creative room, or quiet work space. The kitchen is a true chef style kitchen with upgraded stainless steel appliances, granite counters, a built in refrigerator, generous cabinet space, and an interior laundry room with washer and dryer included. The home also has high ceilings throughout, quality windows, and strong overall insulation, giving it a more solid and comfortable feel through the seasons. The living room has a beautiful custom river rock fireplace with a rustic wood mantle, bringing that classic Idyllwild cabin feeling into a newer, more comfortable home. Upstairs, there is a large media room, den, or game room already wired for surround sound, making it perfect for movie nights, guests, kids, or a second living space. The property also includes two furnaces, upstairs central air, a personal storage shed, and full covered gated RV parking on the street side. The yard is practical, private, and pet friendly, with space to enjoy the mountain setting without feeling boxed in.
