The best of both worlds! This amazing Running Springs home benefits from the best our local Mountain Communities has to offer and does not have an HOA!. It is located in, what locals call the “Banana Belt”, and has significantly less heavy snowfall due to it being around 1000 ft in elevation lower than the rest of the residential communities in the area. This allows you to enjoy the natural beauty and quiet environment of the “mountains” with less inconvenience and lack of mobility. The fully maintained roads are nice and wide, it is right off 330 HWY with three ways to enter and exit the community and this particular lot is as flat and usable as a “low-land” residential lot. The home itself is well built and maintained, with a ton of custom touches and special features. It all starts outside with a generous amount of off-street parking including enough room for a large trailer or RV; a prized and uncommon feature in mountain communities. This home has an oversized 3-car tandem garage with extra tall, insulated roll up door. If you don’t need the 3rd car, the extended space makes an amazing cabineted 220 wired workshop or a place for your “mountain toys”! Once inside this home reveals itself as one of the most comfortable and usable homes you can hope for. Main level has an open living room, a focal point stone surrounded wood burning fireplace for efficient warmth and master bedroom with ensuite bath offering a jacuzzi tub, separate shower, dual sinks and of course a big walk-in closet. This floor also provides a large family kitchen with an abundance of custom hardwood cabinets, super durable stone countertops, an extra-large kitchen pantry, breakfast nook and adjacent formal dining room. The whole area is awash in sunlight provided by large dual-pane windows and a sliding glass door that gives direct access to the uncompromising outdoor living area, with freshly painted deck and a completely landscaped and fully irrigated yard with a cherry and 3 apple trees. Back inside , up a few steps are two good-sized guest rooms and a full guest bath plus the “hidden gem” of this home, a HUGE interior finished storage/bonus area. Pop down a couple of steps and you get convenient access to the laundry room with sink and easy access to the water heater, furnace, & water shut-off valves from inside the home. This unique and delightful opportunity is finished with a wrap-around front porch and topped off with a 100-year concrete tile roof for ultimate protection.
