Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1992, this 32-year-old property is well-maintained but significantly dated. The kitchen features original pine cabinetry, laminate countertops, and an electric coil stove, while the bathrooms and flooring (carpet/vinyl) also reflect 1990s standards. Although the HVAC system has been improved with updated ducting and a smart thermostat, the overall interior finishes are over 20 years old and require cosmetic modernization.
The property features a rare, expansive double lot that provides significant usable outdoor space and exceptional potential for future expansion or additional outdoor living areas in a mountain setting.
Equipped with a central heating system, updated ducting, and a smart thermostat accessible remotely, ensuring efficiency and comfort during the colder mountain months.
Ideally situated near major attractions like Snow Valley, Lake Arrowhead, and Big Bear Lake, offering high potential for short-term rentals or a vacation retreat.
