Escape to the peaceful Chapin Chalet, a charming Alpine-style cabin just minutes from historic downtown Julian. Situated on two combined parcels totaling over 1/3 acre, this cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bath retreat feels like a treehouse due to the mature trees surrounding the home, it offers a fully fenced yard, usable lot, and peek-a-boo Volcan Mountain views. A spacious wrap-around deck and private upper deck make outdoor living a highlight, with plenty of space to relax, dine, entertain, or enjoy the peaceful mountain setting. Inside, classic cabin character includes floor-to-ceiling tongue-and-groove pine, a wood-burning stove, newer interior and exterior paint, and a loft-style bedroom with Brazilian cherry floors and an abundance of natural light. Multiple storage sheds plus a brand-new Tuff Shed with double Dutch doors offer excellent workshop, studio, hobby, or storage space. Ideal as a primary home, weekend getaway, second home, or potential vacation rental investment. It was previously used as a successful short-term rental.
