Description
*LARGE SHOP* Tucked onto a quiet street in Tehachapi's Alpine Forest, this meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits in a true forest setting, with mature oak and pine trees surrounding the property on every side. Just about 10 minutes from town, it offers the privacy and scenery buyers want without giving up convenience. The 1,629-square-foot home has been thoughtfully updated throughout with a clean, neutral palette. New flooring runs through the house, the kitchen is new, and both bathrooms have been fully refreshed. A spacious family room centers on a fireplace, with a dining area that keeps everyday living easy and open. An indoor laundry room adds practical everyday comfort. Outside, the grounds are fully landscaped front and back. A covered front porch welcomes you in, while the backyard offers a lush lawn, garden areas, and a covered patio made for morning coffee or evening gatherings under the trees. What truly sets this home apart is the garage and access. A large four-car garage and shop, complete with a built-in lift, sits alongside and attached to the car garage. A wide paved driveway provides RV access and then some--an uncommon find in this area. Well kept, thoughtfully updated, and set among the trees, this is the standout home in the neighborhood. Alpine Forest living, done right.
