About This Home
Covey Cabin is a 1933 Idyllwild charmer unlike anything else on the market; a compact compound offering a main cabin, two private courtyards, a versatile, newly built permitted studio, garden shed, and covered workspace, all under a forested setting giving the feel of a magical mountain cottage. Through the main gate is a private garden courtyard with climbing roses and a trickling fountain, accented with a gambrel-roofed garden shed and covered workspace. A brick-paved path leads to the main entrance. Inside, the 633 sq. ft. cabin opens to a vaulted beamed ceiling, wood paneling and a corner brick hearth with wood stove. Living, dining and kitchen flow together in one open space. A charming ladder-accessed sleeping loft in the living room tucks beneath the roofline with its own gable window. The primary bedroom has a mini split, in-room laundry, and garden views. A 3/4 bath sits just across the hall. Step outside the primary bedroom to a rear brick paver courtyard anchored by a towering cedar, lush with plants and flowers, with a hot tub, and BBQ area. Behind its own privacy fence sits the fully 320 sq. ft. studio with finished interior, exposed beam ceiling, mini split, and private entrance with separate driveway. Use it as an office, creative space, extra sleeping quarters, or guest retreat. Mini splits in the living room, bedroom, and studio keep you cool in the summer months and cozy in the winter! Desirable location and corner lot! Updates include: roof and gutters (2020), mini splits (2023), Bradford White water heater (2024), new street shutoff valve and water regulator (2024), new leach lines (2026). Survey monuments intact. Furniture is negotiable.
