Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 2005, the property is 21 years old, placing it just into the 'Fair' category. While the listing describes it as turnkey and well-maintained, the kitchen and finishes (honey-oak cabinetry and specific granite style) are original to the build date and considered dated by modern standards, likely requiring cosmetic updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8000, living area = 1725.
The property features a fully finished bonus room above the garage with a full bath and a third-floor space that are not included in the official square footage, providing substantial extra value and versatile living area.
Meticulously maintained by the same owner-occupants for 15 years, this home is in excellent condition and expected to pass inspections easily, offering a rare move-in-ready mountain retreat.
With 92 days on the market, the listing may suffer from a 'stale' perception among buyers, which can lead to more aggressive negotiations despite the seller's explanation for the delay.
The assigned elementary and middle schools have lower ratings (4 and 3 respectively), which could be a deterrent for families prioritizing high-performing educational districts.
Open house on September 4, 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Don't let the days-on-market fool you. This turnkey, owner-occupied home has been very well maintained for the past 15 years. Seller medical issues delayed several planned price adjustments, creating an opportunity for today's buyer. No known issues, expected to pass inspections, and the seller can accommodate a quick escrow. ~~~~~Imagine this: Friday afternoon. The drive up on Highway 38 is behind you, the air is cooler, and before long you're pulling into the driveway of your own mountain retreat. From the moment you step inside, the high ceilings and warm, open floor plan make it easy to picture weekends with family, holiday gatherings, or simply enjoying the quiet that makes Big Bear so special. The kitchen naturally becomes the heart of the home while conversations flow into the living room and out into the front porch. With three bedrooms in the main home plus a fully finished bonus room above the garage complete with its own full bath, there's plenty of space for guests, extended family, a home office, or the game room you've always wanted. ~~~Neither the “third floor” nor the room above the garage is included in the square footage of the home. Outside, the fully fenced yards offer room to relax, entertain, or let kids and pets play. Across the street, Erwin Lake Park adds open space to enjoy, while nearby trails invite hiking and walks in the forest… Built in 2005, this is a home that has been cared for—not just occupied- for the last 15 years by the same owners. ~~~Although the setting feels peaceful and away from the crowds, you're only minutes from shopping, restaurants, the Village, ski resorts, and everything that makes Big Bear a four-season destination. ~~~Some homes impress with statistics. Others make you feel at home the moment you walk through the door. If you've been looking for a place where weekends turn into traditions and vacations this is the place for you.
