More Insights
Built in 1978 (47 years old).
Condition: Built in 1978, this duplex shows significant signs of age with no apparent major renovations in recent decades. Both kitchens feature dated oak cabinets, laminate countertops, and older white appliances; one kitchen even has carpet, which is highly undesirable. The visible bathroom is also very dated with a cultured marble vanity and an old frosted glass shower enclosure. Flooring throughout is predominantly old brown carpet, and light fixtures and ceiling styles (popcorn, exposed plywood) are outdated. While the property appears to be maintained and functional, it requires substantial cosmetic updates and modernization to kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring to meet current standards and appeal.

Cons
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1978, the property is over 45 years old. The description does not mention any significant recent renovations or system upgrades, suggesting potential for outdated infrastructure or cosmetic updates required to maximize rental income or personal comfort.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: While fireplaces are noted for heating, there is no mention of air conditioning or any cooling system. This could be a significant drawback during warmer months in Big Bear City, impacting tenant comfort and short-term rental appeal.
Modest Lot Size: With a lot size of 4500 sqft, the property offers a relatively compact outdoor space, which might be a limitation for buyers seeking larger yards or more expansive outdoor living areas, especially for a duplex.
