More Insights

Built in 1962 (64 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this property is well-maintained and functional, offering a charming rustic mountain aesthetic. However, both the main house and ADU kitchens feature dated tile countertops and a mix of older appliances, with only one newer range visible. Bathrooms are clean and functional but also show outdated fixtures and styles. The property lacks modern central heating/cooling, relying on a wood stove and portable heaters. While move-in ready, significant updates would be required to modernize the kitchens, bathrooms, and HVAC systems to current standards.

Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 16000, living area = 1824.
Income Potential & Versatility: The detached ADU 'Casita' with its own bedroom, loft, bathroom, fireplace, and kitchen offers significant flexibility for rental income (AirBnB), guest accommodation, or dedicated workspace, greatly enhancing the property's value and appeal.
Prime Mountain Location: Situated in Moonridge, the property boasts an excellent location 'remarkably close' to Bear Mountain Ski Resort, golf course, the Zoo, and Big Bear Village, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and vacation rentals.
Charming Architectural & Natural Ambiance: The 'Swiss Chalet style' with vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, warm wood paneling, multiple decks, and forest views creates a unique, cozy, and highly desirable mountain retreat atmosphere, complemented by a seasonal stream and towering trees.
Generous Lot Size & Privacy: A substantial 16,000 square foot lot with a spiral drive provides ample space, privacy, and a strong connection to nature, a highly sought-after feature in mountain properties.
Multi-Generational / Group Accommodation: With a main house (2 beds + loft/bedroom, 2 baths) and a separate ADU (1 bed + loft, 1 bath), the property can comfortably accommodate larger families, multiple groups, or multi-generational living, broadening its market appeal.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1824, other record living area = 1040. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 1.
Age of Property: Built in 1962, the property is over 60 years old. While charming, this age often implies potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical), deferred maintenance, and the need for significant upgrades to meet modern standards, which could incur substantial costs.
Potential for High Maintenance: A large 16,000 sqft lot with a seasonal stream, towering trees, and multiple decks, while beautiful, can require considerable ongoing maintenance for landscaping, tree care, and deck upkeep, especially in a mountain environment.
Heating System Limitations: The description highlights a 'freestanding wood stove for crisp mountain evenings,' which, while atmospheric, may suggest it's the primary or sole heating source. This could be less convenient or efficient than a central heating system for some buyers, especially during harsh winters.
