1616 Blagen Rd, Arnold, CA 95223

This charming house across the street from White Pines Lake is optimally located for swimming, kayaking, fishing, or lazy days lounging and relaxing at the lake. For those seeking something more active, the Arnold Rim Trail is right behind the lake and provides miles and miles of great hiking and mountain biking amid a lush forest backdrop. Downtown Arnold is a few short blocks away. Bear Valley is an easy drive up Highway 4 for winter fun including skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and snowmobiling. The town of Murphys with its many restaurants, shops, and wineries is a 15-minute drive in the opposite direction. The home itself exudes vintage lake house charm with significant updates during the last 15 years including the roof, windows, skylights, deck, kitchen, baths, and many appliances. One bedroom and bathroom on the main level with two more bedrooms and another full bath upstairs. You will love the mostly level corner lot with good privacy and easy winter access into a detached two-car garage. This property has much to offer either vacation homeowners or full time residents. White Pines is a quaint community of old-timey homes and cottages steeped in history. Today, the heart of the community is the large lake surrounded by other recreation amenities including a playground, BBQ areas, sports courts, the Sierra Logging Museum, and the wonderful Arnold Rim Trail. The mile-long paved portion begins at the museum. Hazel Fischer elementary school is also nearby. As an added bonus, this home is on sewer, a rarity for the Arnold area, with no costly septic issues to deal with. With so much to offer, this home will not last.
