The kitchen features modern two-tone cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and contemporary fixtures. Both bathrooms appear virtually new with updated vanities, fixtures, and flooring. The entire interior boasts new LVP/laminate flooring, fresh paint, and modern lighting. This aligns with the 'excellent' criteria of being 'fully renovated recently' with 'all components new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards'.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7095, living area = 784.
Strategically located minutes from Big Bear Boulevard, the lake, top ski resorts, hiking trails, and local restaurants, offering excellent access to recreational activities and amenities.
The home has been completely renovated with modern upgrades, providing a stylish and comfortable living environment.
The property includes an 'extra non permitted bathroom' and a 'NON-PERMITTED little escape house,' which could lead to legal, insurance, or resale complications and requires buyer due diligence for permitting.
With 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom (plus the non-permitted one), and 784 sqft, the main home is relatively small, which might limit appeal for larger families or those seeking more spacious living.
Despite extensive renovations, the original build year of 1958 suggests potential for underlying issues typical of older homes, requiring thorough inspection beyond cosmetic updates.
