Perched above the valley in one of Running Springs’ most scenic settings, this beautifully maintained mountain retreat offers panoramic valley views, breathtaking sunsets, sparkling evening city lights, and the rare beauty of winter cloud inversions that often place you above the clouds. Warm wood ceilings, natural finishes, and inviting living spaces create the timeless character buyers seek in a true mountain home. The spacious living room with its classic brick fireplace provides a cozy gathering place, while large windows frame the surrounding forest and distant valley beyond. The expansive view deck is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, outdoor dining, evening sunsets, or simply relax while taking in the ever-changing scenery throughout all four seasons. The home offers comfortable bedrooms, well-maintained bathrooms, generous storage, and a professionally maintained whole-house Generac backup generator, providing valuable peace of mind during mountain weather and unexpected power outages.
