Property is move-in ready.
This 1948 mountain retreat is in move-in ready condition with several notable updates. The exterior features low-maintenance Trex-style decking and synthetic turf, while the interior has been refreshed with slate flooring and butcher-block countertops in the kitchen. Although the knotty pine aesthetic and white appliances are dated, the property is well-maintained with no obvious signs of deferred maintenance, making it a functional and well-kept example of its era.
Ideally situated just minutes from Big Bear Lake, the Village, and major ski resorts, offering exceptional access to the area's premier recreational and dining amenities.
The two-car detached garage includes a freestanding wood-burning stove and a half bath, providing significant potential for a workshop, game room, or creative studio.
The property features synthetic turf, Trex-style decking, and southern exposure for efficient snow melt, minimizing seasonal upkeep for homeowners.
Built in 1948, the property may require more frequent maintenance or upgrades to older mechanical and structural systems compared to modern builds.
At 1,000 square feet, the compact living space may be a constraint for larger families or those seeking more expansive indoor entertaining areas.
