Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1963 and remains in largely original condition, including the kitchen and 'antique' stove from the year of construction. While the home appears well-kept, the 60+ year age with no documented renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms, or major systems places it in the 'poor' category as it requires a full interior rehab and likely system updates to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 19200, living area = 1633.
The massive 19,200 sq. ft. flat corner lot is fully fenced with over 100 pine trees, providing exceptional privacy, room for animals, and significant potential for an ADU or secondary dwelling.
The property is sold fully furnished and includes valuable extras such as power tools, snow equipment, and bikes, offering a seamless transition for buyers looking for a ready-to-use vacation home.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =19200, other record lot size in square feet = 7200.
Built in 1963, the home retains many original features and finishes that may require modernization or upgrades to meet the expectations of buyers seeking contemporary mountain luxury.
With 68 days on the market and a recent price reduction from the original list price, the property may be facing challenges in perceived value relative to current market demand.
Amazing price improvement!!!Welcome to this whimsical, traditional Bear Bear Home on an expansive 19,200 sq. ft. flat on the corner of Norwood and Juniper. The lot encompasses most of an entire block with room for your animals to roam in the completely fenced property. The buyers to check with the city for the possibility to add an Adu or separate home. The spacious great room features lots of light from the many windows and a large wood burning fireplace that sets the tone for that cabin feeling. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home also has a den or family room that is entered by the side door with a vestibule for those snow covered boots and jackets. The home comes fully furnished, including all appliances and the antique stove in the kitchen which was purchased when the owners built the house in 1963. The oversized two car garage was built at the same time along with a separate work shop. Also included in the sale is snow play equipment, bikes and numerous power and mechanic tools. There are two bedrooms downstairs. The primary bedroom has a separate bathroom and the second bedroom utilizes the hallway bathroom. The upstairs bedroom has been furnished as a dormitory style room that was able to accommodate all of the grandchildren. It could easily be divided into two bedrooms or office and bedroom. As the house sits close to the corner, the effect is a sweeping lot with several uses. There is an area next to the garage for a boat or motor home. There is also a small out building that is used for storage. The lot is completely fenced with over 100 pine trees which creates the feeling of a private forest and adds to the privacy. It's just a short drive to the Lake Erwin recreational area, Snow Summit and Big Bear Lake. And the lake is so full and beautiful this time of year!
