Edelweiss will sing to you while you enjoy this clean and well appointed home. Perfect for vacation or full-time use as there is gentle access and plenty of parking and a large garage as well. The home comes completely turnkey down to the dishes and tools so bring your toothbrush and laptop and enjoy the forest setting. Tastefully remodeled bathrooms show care for comfort and style. The kitchen with gas range opens to the dining area and great room so there is a warm gathering place for where we spend the most of our time. A den/office can be a working refuge and a third sleeping room adjoining the living room. Both front and rear of the home have deck space for morning coffee and afternoon or evening barbecue, complete with the BBQ and outdoor furniture. The living room has a Jotul gas log stove, a top quality brand, and is furnished with a leather queen sleeper and chaise. Central heat and AC for year 'round comfort and ease. Arnold is a recreational heaven, having Calaveras Big Trees State Park minutes up the road for hiking and even snowshoeing amongst the giant sequoia trees. Arnold Rim Trail is a pleasant resource for hiking, mountain biking & equestrian travel. Further up the Sierra is Bear Valley Mountain Resort for skiing, both alpine and nordic, and Lake Alpine, Utica, Union and Spicer reservoirs are kayakers' delight. Down the hill is the town of Murphys, with restaurants, wine tasting and Ironstone Vineyards amphitheater as a top tier music venue. What a stunningly beautiful area to live in and recreate!
