3426 Fawn Circle Arnold, CA 95223

Tucked among the pines in the coveted Lakemont Pines HOA, this charming and rare 1970s cross-gable A-frame cabin feels like a place the forest grew around on purpose. Ascend the winding, railed stairway through a garden of Sierra trees and arrive somewhere truly special. Inside, the home glows with warmth and light. Pine-framed skylights and cathedral windows illuminate knotty pine paneling and soaring vaulted ceilings, showcasing the A-frame's timeless architecture. A Quadra-Fire high-efficiency, clean-burning wood stove anchors the living room - an inviting place to gather after a day on the trails or slopes. The kitchen blends rustic charm with modern convenience, featuring new stainless-steel appliances, butcher block countertop, a built-in wine fridge, updated lighting, fresh paint, and new carpeting throughout. A new baseboard heater, washer and dryer, and new blinds add everyday comfort and ease. With 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths across 1,216 square feet, the layout is both functional and flexible. The main level includes the kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, a full bath, and laundry closet. Upstairs, a spacious loft is enhanced by the cross-gable A-frame design, where outward dormers create generous headroom and abundant natural light, alongside an additional bedroom and half bath - ideal for guests, a home office, or a creative retreat. Step outside onto the TimberTech wraparound deck (2016) with redwood-accented rails and take in forest views that feel suspended - like living in a treehouse surrounded by mature cedar, pine, and fir. The lower entry is thoughtfully protected from snow, and upgrades include an updated septic system (2021), premium Presidential roof with a 2-year leak-free warranty, skylights, and new exterior paint (2021). Locally quarried gold slate at the entry adds a distinctive, grounding touch, while dark-stained beams bring depth and contrast. Set on 0.41 acres, this cabin offers privacy and connection to nature, while remaining close to it all: Lakemont Pines Lake, Arnold Rim Trail access, 30 minutes to Bear Valley Ski Resort and Lake Alpine, 10 minutes to Big Trees State Park, and 20 minutes to Murphys' wine country, boutiques, and restaurants. Whether you're seeking a weekend escape, investment property, or legacy cabin, this quietly magical A-frame is beautifully updated while preserving its vintage soul - ready to enjoy.
