Beautiful, updated home in the heart of Bear Valley Springs. This single story ranch style home is located right across from the Whiting Center and Bear Valley Market. The 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is situated on over 1 acre of flat, fenced property, perfect for horses, RV parking and pets, with plenty of room to add a workshop. The seller has already added a She-Shed that has electricity to it and is currently being used as an art studio. The original garage was converted/permitted to add another living area and the 3rd bathroom. The area includes pluming for a kitchenette or wet bar and can also be used as guest quarters. The vibrant kitchen has been updated, making it a joy to work in the kitchen again. The home also offers an electric gate for privacy and the view of the surrounding mountains is breathtaking.
