Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready with remodeled bathrooms and updated flooring; however, it is rated 'Fair' because the kitchen remains dated with original 1977-style cabinetry, white tile countertops, and older appliances. Per the criteria, the home's age (>20 years) and the need for kitchen updates align with the Fair classification.
Situated in the highly desirable Lower Moonridge area, the property offers exceptional proximity to Snow Summit, Bear Mountain, and Big Bear Lake, making it an ideal high-demand vacation rental or personal getaway.
The exterior is optimized for entertaining with a large deck featuring a retractable awning and bistro lighting, complemented by a gazebo and low-maintenance artificial turf.
The home features remodeled bathrooms, including a master suite with a jetted tub, and a versatile floor plan that includes a dedicated gaming area that serves as a fourth bedroom.
Built in 1977, the property may require more frequent maintenance or future updates to mechanical systems compared to newer builds in the area.
The assigned elementary and middle schools carry low performance ratings (2 and 3 respectively), which may limit the property's appeal to full-time residents with school-aged children.
