Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1983, this cabin is well-maintained and move-in ready but remains largely in its original or slightly dated state. The kitchen and bathrooms feature older tile countertops, 80s-style cabinetry, and dated fixtures. While the property is functional and clean, the heavy wood paneling, mirrored closet doors, and older appliances show significant signs of being outdated compared to modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8960, living area = 1212.
Situated in the highly sought-after Moonridge area, the property offers exceptional proximity to Bear Mountain, the Alpine Zoo, the golf course, and local shopping.
The cabin features rare and picturesque views of the ski slopes from both the kitchen and bedroom windows, a premium feature for mountain properties.
The reverse floor plan requires navigating stairs to reach the main living area and kitchen, which may not be ideal for all buyers or those with mobility concerns.
Built in 1983, the property may require modern cosmetic updates or system upgrades to compete with newer or fully renovated luxury cabins.
With only two bedrooms, the home may have a lower occupancy limit, potentially impacting its appeal for larger families or high-capacity short-term rentals.
