Description
Built in 1928, 255 Hemlock Drive is a soulful Lake Arrowhead retreat where nearly a century of mountain history meets thoughtful modern living. Tucked beneath towering trees, this one-of-a-kind home feels deeply connected to its surroundings and the history of this mountain community. The home’s story lives in its original craftsmanship. Custom French-style doors and windows, period hardware, and a magnificent fireplace built from locally quarried stone have been carefully preserved and restored—details whose warmth and character have been earned through nearly 100 years of mountain life. At the heart of the home is the soaring cathedral-ceiling living room, both dramatic and inviting. Sunlight streams through French-style windows and doors, while an arched leaded-glass window draws the eye upward. The original stone fireplace anchors the room, creating a natural gathering place for snowy evenings and quiet mornings. Overhead, custom metal collar ties, designed with a local metalsmith to support mountain snow loads while maintaining the room’s openness, embody the philosophy behind the restoration: honor the soul of the 1928 home while allowing it to live beautifully today. That openness continues into the airy primary suite, where a vaulted ceiling, exposed wood rafters and slender metal collar ties create a peaceful retreat. Natural light and warm wood details lend an understated serenity, with generous proportions for unwinding after a day in the mountains. Equally inviting is the light-filled bunk room, designed for the way a mountain home is meant to be shared. Surrounded by windows and framed by exposed beams, it offers multiple sleeping areas and room to lounge and play—ideal for children, extended family and weekend guests. Throughout, old and new coexist beautifully. Locally saw-milled wide-plank pine floors meet custom metalwork, including seven-foot French-style garden doors and handcrafted stair railings. A salvaged 1920s eight-foot-wide leaded-glass kitchen window adds another piece of history, while a Bertazzoni range and heated custom marble bathroom floors bring modern comfort and luxury. Outside, mature trees and foliage embrace the double lot, while weathered cedar shingles and warm wood siding evoke the timeless character of an early mountain retreat. Above all, 255 Hemlock Drive has been lovingly cared for as a piece of Lake Arrowhead history.
