1-Story Mountain Living Made Easy! Just minutes from town, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom mountain retreat offers the rare combination of a mostly level, fully fenced lot, exceptional amenities, and easy everyday living on one level with elevator access, so you don't ever have to deal with stairs. Across the street, Strawberry Creek adds a peaceful natural backdrop through the trees, while the wraparound deck--with its natural-edge bar top overlooking the yard--creates an inviting place to gather. Hot tub support is already in place! The property features a 2-car garage with full storage above, elevator access to the deck for easy with groceries and more, a gas generator, fenced dog run, and one of the first homes to receive snow plowing--making winter living remarkably convenient. Inside, the gourmet kitchen features a movable island and generous pantry, flowing into a dining room with built-ins and charming morning room. The oversized living room centers around a wood stove. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and ensuite bath, with a dedicated laundry area and provides access to a covered patio/gym, dog run and fenced back yard, while two additional bedrooms share a full hall bath. Out back, lots of entertaining decks lead to a fenced yard and charming outbuildings for work materials and wood storage. Thoughtfully designed for comfort, accessibility and mountain living, this is a getaway you can truly age in place.

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.
