28400 River Dr Strawberry CA 95375 MLS #41138722

Imagine trading traffic, noise, and summer heat for cool mountain breezes, the soothing sounds of the nearby S Fork Stanislaus River, and the serenity of life in the Sierra. Whether you’re escaping the Bay Area, the Central Valley, or simply seeking a place where life moves at a slower pace, this beautifully remodeled Strawberry retreat invites you to slow down, unwind, and embrace the mountain lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of. An expansive 780-square-foot redwood wrap-around deck creates the perfect setting to relax, entertain, and enjoy the fresh mountain air. A covered portico welcomes you inside to an inviting retreat where every space has been thoughtfully enhanced with style and functionality. New luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout, while the cozy living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect place to gather after a day on the lake, the slopes, or the trails. The eye-catching kitchen features custom redwood countertops, matching open shelving, and new stainless steel appliances. The dining area is a showstopper, highlighted by a handcrafted custom table and benches that create the perfect gathering place for family and friends. A convenient mud room provides space to hang jackets and kick off hiking boots, while a spacious laundry room offers a utility sink, abundant storage, and its own exterior entrance. The main level also features a bedroom and a beautifully remodeled bathroom with a walk-in tiled shower enclosed in glass and a custom redwood vanity. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, another spectacular remodeled bathroom, and a versatile media room, den, or family room with a separate exterior entrance, providing flexibility for guests and extended family. Central heat provides year-round comfort, while the water heater, heating system, and dryer are all gas. As an added bonus, the propane tank is owned. Situated on a level lot with a circular driveway and ample parking, this property is designed for adventure. A lockable Tuff Shed provides storage for bikes, paddleboards, fishing poles, and all your mountain gear. Adding to the property’s unique character is a historic 400-square-foot miner’s cabin complete with a loft, offering the perfect workshop, studio, or opportunity to preserve a piece of Strawberry’s rich past. Most furnishings are negotiable (excluding the custom dining table), making it easy to settle in and begin enjoying the mountain lifestyle from day one. Just minutes from Pinecrest Lake.
