2838 Pine Knoll Drive, Arnold, Ca, 95223

This charming home first appears as an unassuming newer construction home with inviting curb appeal and a craftsman look. The exterior features warm wood tones and rich details,complimented by a pitched roof with dark decorative cedar shingles. A stone-faced foundation and stacked-stone accents add character and durability, while fire resistive Natural landscaping enhances the front yard. A covered front entry welcomes you from a sheltered porch with dark wood accents and an over-sized knotty alder front door. A large custom colored and stamped driveway leads to a spacious 2-car garage with paneled doors. The front yard is styled for a mountain setting with a dry riverbed (low maintenance landscaping),mature dogwood, aspen & pine trees framing the property,creating privacy,a peaceful 1st impression and a cozy,cabin-like feel. The inside of the home appears as new,and opens to an expansive 2-story great room and kitchen with old world drywall texturing and 9’ ceilings throughout. It’s evident that the builder of this home demonstrated pride of craftsmanship,attention to detail and custom features in every room of the home. The exterior construction features of this home along with Lakemont being a certified Firewise Community qualify it for the extensively sought after newly introduced California Fair Plan Wildfire Hardening Discounts. Many mountain homeowners attempt to obtain these discounts, but only those structures built and designed are granted discount approval. Another key factor is that PG&E is currently installing below ground utilities in Lakemont, making the fire hazards of overhead wires a thing of the past.
