Welcome to this fully restored 1923 cabin on River Drive, one of the most desirable streets in Idyllwild. Located on a corner lot very close to Strawberry Creek access and downtown Idyllwild, this amazing 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin at the corner of River and Fir has it all: upgraded electrical panel and wiring, new plumbing, new foundation, new insulation, skylights, a new deck with views, a new HVAC (AC and forced air furnace), washer and dryer, as well as a completely upgraded kitchen with new appliances and upgraded bathrooms, all of which feature handmade pine cabinets and pine slab countertops. But many of the original features, like the hardwood floors, river rock fireplace, walls, river rock chimney, windows, and hand-built stone entrance steps, were lovingly restored to maintain and highlight the cabin's original beauty. This incredibly charming cabin boasts a large living room and separate dining room, en suite master bath, as well as a storage shed/workshop and separate laundry area. The .17 flat lot has a former foundation and plenty of room to add a garage, too. Imagine having coffee on your new handmade log bench on your new deck as you watch the sun rise over the mountain ridge. Whether for part time or full time living, properties on River Drive rarely come on the market. Make sure not to miss this amazing gem in the pines!
