Escape the rush of the city to the charming mountain town of Julian and discover this delightful Alpine-style cabin, affectionately known as the Chapin Chalet. Set on two combined parcels totaling approximately 0.36 acres of level, fully fenced land along a quiet private street, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the perfect blend of cozy comfort and country freedom. A spacious wrap-around deck invites you to relax beneath a canopy of mature trees and fragrant lilacs, with peek-a-boo views of Volcan Mountain. Inside, the living area features warm floor-to-ceiling tongue-and-groove pine paneling, a wood-burning stove, and beautiful stained-glass windows that fill the space with soft, inviting light. Newer interior and exterior paint gives the home a bright, updated feel throughout. Modern smart switches and plugs add everyday convenience, while the new 50-inch flat-screen TV with remote makes it easy to unwind after a day exploring the mountains. The efficient kitchen is ideal for preparing meals for two or hosting larger gatherings, with direct access to the deck for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Upstairs, the loft-style bedroom boasts solid Brazilian cherry flooring and a wall of Andersen windows that create the magical sensation of sleeping among the treetops. Step out onto the private attached deck to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the peaceful mountain views. Outside, the property offers plenty of room to create your own garden, hobby farm, or peaceful retreat. Multiple storage sheds are included, along with a brand-new Tuff Shed featuring double Dutch doors perfect for use as a bunkhouse, workshop, or she-shed. A thoughtfully designed dog kennel provides a safe space for your furry companions. Just minutes from downtown Julian’s shops, restaurants, and local breweries, this property delivers the slower-paced country lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of. Utilities include septic, water from the Majestic Pines Water District, and power from SDG&E. The home is located in a high to very high fire severity zone buyers are encouraged to research fire insurance costs prior to making an offer.
