California cool meets mountain living, with Lily Rock in your own backyard. Set on 0.34 acres in desirable Fern Valley, this 1968 mountain home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1,464 square feet of era-true architecture: a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling with exposed dark beams and a wood burning stone fireplace that anchors the living room. The kitchen features an oversized island with seating for four, opening into the living area, with the dining space adjacent, and clerestory windows and sliding glass doors drawing the eye out to the backyard. Recent updates include quartz countertops, a slate subway tile backsplash, updated kitchen sink and hardware, wood laminate flooring in all three bedrooms, a newer Energy Star refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and fresh interior and exterior paint. All three bedrooms sit on the east wing. Two share a full bath at the center of the hall, while the primary suite at the end has its own half bath and French doors to the back patio. It is currently being used as an office. On the west side, the garage connects directly to the kitchen and includes a dedicated laundry area. The oversized three-car garage is a standout in its own right, with a radiant-barrier insulated ceiling, workbench and storage cabinetry, and enough open floor space to double as a home gym, workshop, or hobby space. One bay opens straight to the backyard, a rare feature that adds even more flexibility. Out back, a concrete patio suitable for alfresco dining functions as an extension of the living room, with peek-a-boo views of Lily Rock through the trees. The backyard, patio and outlying area alike, is fully fenced. Beyond the hardscape, the yard is a blank slate, ready for a buyer's own landscaping vision. Out front, the dark board-and-batten exterior sits under mature pines, with a repaved driveway offering RV parking.
Idyllwild Mountain Park, located between Mount San Jacinto State Park and the San Bernardino National Forest, is a mountain and artsy Idyllwild-Pine Cove neighborhood with pine-scented trails and cabin-lined lanes. The town’s character concentrates around North Circle Drive at Village Center Drive, where galleries, coffee counters, and gear shops cluster under tall conifers. Community touchstones include the Idyllwild Arts campus, the Rustic Theatre, and the Idyllwild Brewpub. Architecture leans to A-frames, mid-century cabins, and newer mountain homes with decks and wood siding. Daily life follows trailheads, seasonal festivals, and patio tables with forest views. Granite outcrops and high-elevation air shape the pace year-round.
