Rare opportunity to complete a 3rd floor penthouse in the South Branch Condominium complex with direct ski-in/ski-out access to Saddleback Mountain. This unfinished unit is ready for the next owner to bring their vision to life while taking advantage of its thoughtful design, layout, and views. The first floor is designed to include a main-level bedroom and bath, welcoming entry area with closet. Windows and a slider capture fine westerly views over Saddleback Lake and the surrounding mountains. The open-concept living area features cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, filling the space with natural light and framing the scenery. It is designed for a gas viewing fireplace--perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes--and opens to a private deck for outdoor enjoyment. The kitchen layout offers storage and workspace, with country-style cabinets ready to be installed. The unit is already sheetrocked with some pine paneling in place and kitchen & bath cabinets on site in boxes. Heating and plumbing extend to the unit but require final connection. The next owner will need to install a stairway to the second-floor living space and complete the walls, flooring, bath, and appliances to their personal taste. This architecturally appealing penthouse offers unbeatable ski access, sweeping views, and the rare opportunity to finish a mountain retreat exactly the way you want it.
