The ultimate escape awaits you at Twin Oaks. Set on more than four acres of your own private forest, this rare offering provides the privacy you have been dreaming of, along with sweeping views across Mendenhall Valley to High Point Lookout and the Observatories. Originally built in 1929, this absolutely charming vintage cabin has been thoughtfully updated over the years while preserving its timeless character. Currently enjoyed as a five-star vacation rental, the home comfortably sleeps six, with furnishings optional. Recent improvements include a permitted new roof and skylights, a wood stove, a tankless water heater with battery backup that functions during power outages, new refrigerator, washer and dryer. Electrical and plumbing systems have been updated, along with dual-pane windows, kitchen and baths, all while maintaining the original milled-on-the-mountain wood floors. The original porch, once a vantage point for watching the construction of the Observatory, has been enclosed, and a wrap-around deck was added to take in the forest and valley views. Fruit trees dot the property, and water, power, internet, and deeded access bring modern convenience right to your door. A workshop area in the walk-out basement adds even more flexibility. For those seeking full-time mountain living that simply oozes with vintage charm, we invite you to come on up and make it your own.
