Custom-built in 1991 and lovingly cared for, this prow-front cabin is located in the coveted Foster Lake enclave of Idyllwild on a private road, with enchanting views of Lily Rock! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on a half-acre, wooded parcel with a bordering seasonal creek. The main level of the house provides a bright and open living space with soaring tongue and groove wood-beamed ceilings, a fireplace with custom woodwork detail, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that frame incredible east-facing views. Cedar-trimmed French doors lead out to the home's expansive wrap-around front deck. The kitchen has a tiled breakfast bar and opens to the dining area. This level also has an enclosed laundry space, bathroom, and primary bedroom with French doors that lead outside to a private patio area. The second floor has a loft with seating area; a perfect spot for reading and taking in the views, and two guest bedrooms with a bathroom in between. The exterior of the house has a separate access to a large subspace that could also be used for workshop. Showings by appt only. Please do not drive by or disturb neighbors as the street is very private. Adjacent lot across road is included and the lot square footage is based on total of both lots
