Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1976, this property is well-maintained but dated. While the kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances, the cabinetry and tile flooring are original/older styles. The laundry area shows an older water heater, and the overall interior finishes like the carpet and wallpaper suggest the home is over 20 years old without a recent full-scale renovation, requiring cosmetic updates.
The property features an expansive rear deck and a large private spa, providing a premium outdoor space for relaxation and year-round mountain enjoyment.
Ideally located near Big Bear Lake, the Village, and major ski resorts like Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, making it a highly desirable location for vacationers and investors.
The home offers beautiful views of Gold Mountain from both the front porch and the bedroom balcony, enhancing its appeal as a serene mountain retreat.
At 2,500 square feet, the lot is relatively small for the area, which may limit privacy and restrict future expansion or additional outdoor development.
Built in 1976, the property may require updates to its original systems and finishes to meet modern energy efficiency and aesthetic standards.
