More Insights

Built in 1971 (55 years old).
Condition: Built in 1971, this property is well-maintained for its age, but the interior, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, shows significant signs of being outdated. While the kitchen has newer stainless-steel appliances, the cabinetry, countertops, and lighting fixtures retain a vintage appeal. The bathrooms feature dated vanities, tile work, and fixtures (e.g., gold-framed shower, glass block wall). The carpet appears worn, and the overall aesthetic would benefit from minor to moderate cosmetic updates to align with current styles. Major systems are functional, but the cooling system (swamp cooler) is less efficient than modern alternatives.

About this home

Welcome to this charming single-level mountain retreat in Big Bear City, set on an expansive lot surrounded by mature trees and outdoor living spaces. This well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1¾-bath single-family home offers comfort, character, and flexibility—ideal as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or investment opportunity. Both bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms, providing privacy and convenience. The living room is warm and inviting with tongue-and-groove pine, skylights, a ceiling fan, and a recently installed fireplace insert for cozy mountain evenings. A swamp cooler helps keep things comfortable in warmer months, and the included wood rack adds both function and rustic charm. The kitchen blends vintage appeal with modern updates, featuring classic cabinetry, a breakfast bar, built-in cooktop, oven/broiler, new stainless-steel dishwasher, and a newer stainless-steel refrigerator. Indoor-outdoor living shines here. An 8-foot sliding glass door opens to a beautiful redwood porch, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The primary suite includes access to an enclosed patio with a wall heater, which also houses washer/dryer hookups with a gas connection. The rear patio features durable Trex decking, and the property is enhanced by apple, apricot, and pear trees, along with a stately blue spruce. Additional exterior highlights include a 2-car garage with two doors, gas and water already run to the garage, offering a potential ADU conversion (Buyer to verify with local authorities.), and a wood/garden shed with a concrete floor. With its generous lot size, thoughtful updates, and mountain character, this Big Bear City home offers a rare combination of comfort, charm, and future potential.

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
Limited Cooling System: The property relies on a swamp cooler for cooling, which may not be as efficient or desirable as central air conditioning during warmer periods.
Age of Property: Built in 1971, the home is over 50 years old, which, despite being well-maintained, may raise concerns about the age of underlying systems not explicitly updated.
Smaller Interior Square Footage: With 1072 square feet, the interior living space is relatively modest for a 2-bedroom home, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
