From the spectacular drive up Highway 330 to the moment you arrive at this custom-built log cabin tucked into a wooded lot, the pace begins to change. The air feels different. This three-story home is a rare combination of authentic mountain character and thoughtful, design-forward modern updates. Warm, tactile interiors retain the soul of a true log cabin--knotty pine cabinetry, exposed log ceilings, solid wood doors, custom wood trim, and a one-of-a-kind reclaimed brick fireplace, while extensive improvements bring refined ease to the experience of mountain living. You're welcomed by a large, covered wood deck made for a hot cup of coffee on a cool mountain morning. A place to linger while stellar jays weave through the trees and the breeze dances through the pines. The main level centers around an expansive living room and beautiful fireplace, opening to an inviting kitchen and dining area designed for entertaining, with a large island and prep sink, five-burner gas range, double ovens, two-drawer dishwasher and built-in wine refrigerator. Upstairs, chalet-style ceilings with exposed wood beams define the space, featuring two generously sized bedrooms with custom built-in dressers, large side-by-side closets, and abundant storage. An updated bathroom blends original details with a spa-like experience, centered around a deep soaking tub. The lower level, with its own separate entrance, adds two additional bedrooms (one currently used as a living room), another full bath, a living / dining space, and a semi-kitchen--ideal for extended family, guests, or a completely private retreat. Outside, a newly screened-in porch shelters a four-person hot tub, while the backyard is framed by mature pine and oak trees, apple and plum trees, and rock hardscaping that connects the outdoor spaces. The detached two-door garage provides ample room for 4 cars, mountain gear, bikes, and a workshop space. Extensively updated throughout, the home features new electrical and grounding across all three floors, new lighting and fixtures, flooring and carpeting, updated bathrooms, new washer and dryer, energy-efficient appliances, storm and double-pane windows, and an EV charger. The newer roof is equipped with a snow-melt system. Steps from the Running Springs Farmers Market & Artisan Faire, a short drive to the amenities of town, with forest trails, Snow Valley Ski Area, Lake Arrowhead, and Big Bear nearby. This is mountain living with the rare convenience of being close to everything you need, and just far enough to feel like you're truly away. For a full turnkey experience, may be sold furnished.
