Description
Tucked into the quiet backside of West Golden Hills, this two-story mountain cabin sits among the trees on just over half an acre, about ten minutes from town. The setting is private and serene, with the kind of wooded calm that makes West Golden Hills one of Tehachapi's most sought-after neighborhoods. Inside, 2,026 square feet are arranged across two levels with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main floor opens with a semi-open kitchen that flows into a spacious dining and family room, easy for everyday living or gathering. The primary suite and en-suite bath are also on this level, so the main living spaces stay convenient. Downstairs, a large family room anchors three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, the laundry room, and a utility room, giving the lower level real flexibility for guests, kids, or a home office. Outside, a detached two-car garage keeps parking separate from the house. A partially wraparound deck upstairs and a covered patio downstairs create two distinct places to sit, entertain, or simply take in the trees. The lot is .56 acres, enough room to breathe without losing the tucked-away feel. A quiet cabin-style home in a desirable pocket of West Golden Hills, close enough to town for daily life and private enough to feel like the mountains.
