Inspirational Romantic Writers Retreat With Lake Views

A quality Skyforest Vintage offering like this comes along once in a lifetime, so steal this opportunity to make it yours!

This unique 'get-a-way' was originally built by Published Author Frank B. Nightingale who was born on December 26, 1885 in New York and was intrigued with magic, lighting and illumination.

As a child, and well into his adulthood, Nightingale was known for his magic tricks and famed traveling shows. Nightingale worked for General Electric for 25 years and did the lighting for various parties for Hollywood Celebrities including Shirley Temple's Wedding. His three books were published during the early 1960's, 'Lighting As An Art' and 'Garden Lighting' and 'Magic For Magicians'.

This character vintage home is located up a long private drive in desireable Skyforest and is perfectly nestled into the forested mountainside on a 39,040 square foot lot. The main house features a 1,000 square foot entertaining deck with glorious panoramic Lake Arrowhead Lake Views, snow peaked Mount Baldy, and views clear out over the High Desert.

The level entry living room is complete with romantic stone fireplace, an inviting open eat-in kitchen, and main level master with stone fireplace, stone bath and walk-in closet. Additionally, there are two charming bedrooms and a full bath downstairs. Total square footage in the main home is 1,731 sqft.

For guests, there is a 600 square foot free-standing two story guesthouse with full bedroom and full bath up, its own private deck, and lower level open living room with stone fireplace, eat-in kitchenette and half bath.

There is also an additional 12,635 square foot adjoining vacant lake view parcel that is available for an additional $120,000.00. This lot comes complete with water rights from Skyforest Mutual Water Company.

Screams vintage, one of a kind, and offered furnished!
