More Insights

Built in 1963 (62 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1963, this property has undergone extensive and very recent renovations, as evidenced by the description and images. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, presenting a fresh and contemporary look. All bathrooms are updated with modern vanities, black fixtures, and subway tile, appearing virtually new. The entire home boasts updated, consistent wood-look flooring, modern light fixtures, and fresh paint. The description explicitly mentions 'updated floors, EV charging, updated bathrooms, lighting, paint, furnishings and some decor,' indicating a comprehensive overhaul. While the 'November 2025' update date is slightly ambiguous, the visual evidence strongly suggests that the property has been extensively renovated within the last 5 years, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation.

About this home

With a freshly updated floorplan (November 2025), come over and see this stunning Eagle Point home which embraces over 4,000 sq ft of comfortable and spacious living. This lovely home sits majestically on an over-sized yet level lot, this home has been lovingly updated by the current owners who have rented the home short term between family vacations with excellent rental results. The level driveway has two entrances, one side of the home boasts a 2 car garage while the other has an over sized - single car garage and access to a new EV charger. The layout allows for separate living spaces for larger groups, or multiple families sharing the home on vacation. Upon entry there's a very open and spacious kitchen and dining area, with sliding doors leading out to the first deck. On this level there is the primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings, updated ensuite bathroom, and two additional bedrooms that are generously sized. There is a central, updated bathroom in the hall, a tv den with daybed and a reading library, and at the end of the hall is the laundry area. Upstairs leads to a great room with an additional deck, this level has a hot tub with lake and mountain views. High ceilings create a very open and bright living area with room for a huge dining table too. Another oversized bedroom with additional kids room/ nursery, huge ensuite bathroom where the bathtub overlooks Big Bear Lake. On the top floor is large game room loft with desk, pool table, games and more stunning lake views. Lake access is just the next street away. The back yard is fenced in and spacious yet private with mature trees. This amount of square footage in this location is a rare gem indeed. Come see it today, and bring the family along too, room for all! - The home is only back on market as buyer couldn’t perform. No fault of home or the sellers. Updates also include new water heater, updated floors, EV charging, updated bathrooms, lighting, paint, furnishings and some decor. No HOA.

Cons

Original Construction Age: Built in 1963, the property's core structure is over 60 years old, which may lead to concerns about un-updated major systems (e.g., original plumbing, electrical beyond lighting) or require more extensive long-term maintenance.
Unclear Update Timeline: The mention of a 'freshly updated floorplan (November 2025)' is confusing, suggesting updates may not be fully completed or are planned for the future, which could impact immediate move-in readiness or perceived value.
Prior Transaction Failure: The property is back on the market due to a previous buyer's inability to perform, which, despite assurances, can raise questions and prompt additional buyer scrutiny regarding the property's condition or underlying issues.
