Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1965, this duplex is well-maintained and functional but remains largely dated. While it features fresh interior paint and some newer laminate flooring, the kitchens and bathrooms retain older cabinetry, laminate countertops, and white appliances consistent with a property that has not undergone a full modern renovation. It meets the 'fair' criteria as an aged home that is habitable and clean but requires updates to meet current contemporary standards.
Located just a short distance from Snow Summit, this property is ideally positioned for high-demand seasonal rentals and outdoor enthusiasts in a sought-after four-season destination.
As a rare duplex opportunity, the property offers flexible options to live in one unit while renting the other, or managing both as high-yield short-term or long-term rentals.
The upper unit features desirable architectural details like vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a native rock fireplace, providing the authentic cabin atmosphere highly valued in the Big Bear market.
Originally built in 1965, the property may require more intensive long-term maintenance or system upgrades compared to newer builds, despite recent cosmetic improvements like fresh paint.
The history of multiple price reductions since the initial listing indicates a need for careful valuation to align with current buyer demand and local market conditions.
