Recent price reduction! In the highly desirable Palisades neighborhood on storied John Muir Road, this First Tier retreat is upgraded in every detail and sits on a lake front street with lake rights and coveted peeks of the water, a rare blend of legacy location and effortless walkability. Adding to the rarity: a two-car garage plus generous driveway parking (room for multiple vehicles), giving you the convenience that is desired in Lake Arrowhead. Step through the charming Dutch door into soaring ceilings, rich wood beams, and a massive stone fireplace that instantly sets a mountain tone. The main level is an open-concept living room, breakfast nook, and kitchen connect seamlessly, wrapped in windows that pull in forest views. The primary suite on the main floor feels like a private sanctuary with multiple closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring a dual vanity and deep soaking tub, plus its own private deck—perfect for quiet mornings in the trees. Upstairs, two more bedrooms, one with double bunks—ideal for hosting family and friends. With three bathrooms, ceiling fans in every bedroom, and an upstairs interior laundry room with newer washer/dryer, the home is designed to be as comfortable as it is memorable. The recently renovated wraparound deck is surrounded by mature trees, ideal setting for starry-night dinners, coffee, or après-snow gatherings. Thoughtful details—automatic sensor lighting for safe evening strolls, a gas line to the grill, and a dedicated custom made bear box at the end of the driveway. The kitchen is a standout: designer finishes, soft-close cabinetry, custom lighting and chandeliers, and a Wedgewood retro gas stove, paired with stainless appliances and every amenity you want for weekends (and extended stays). Offered fully furnished, this home delivers a true “arrive-and-enjoy” experience—high-end décor and furnishings down to the details, an 8-person dining table, oversized sectional, flat-screen TVs, shuffleboard, lake toys, and even a built-in air compressor/automatic pump for inflatables and tires. There is a newer central A/C with Nest controls, tankless water heater, wood-trim windows, a large basement storage area sized for all the lake toys. Whether you’re looking for a soulful lake escape, a full-time luxury retreat, or a proven investment with strong short-term rental appeal, this is the kind of Lake Arrowhead opportunity that rarely comes along.
