Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1962, this cabin is aged but appears to be maintained. The kitchen features very dated light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and older white appliances, indicating a need for a full renovation to meet modern standards. The bathroom also presents an outdated vanity and basic fixtures. While the wood-look tile flooring in the living areas is a more recent update, the major components like the kitchen and bathroom are functional but show significant signs of being outdated. There are no apparent structural defects or safety concerns that would classify it as 'poor', but it requires substantial cosmetic updates in key areas.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Recreational Location: The property boasts a prime location in Moonridge, offering year-round access to popular attractions like Bear Mountain Ski Resort (moments away), Bristlecone Trail, Bear Mountain Golf Course, and Boulder Bay Park (6 miles), ideal for outdoor enthusiasts.
Strong Short-Term Rental Potential: Explicitly marketed as a 'getaway home or a short-term rental investment,' this cabin is well-positioned to generate income in the popular Big Bear tourist market.
Charming Cabin Aesthetic: Described as a 'charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin' and a 'retreat,' it appeals to buyers seeking a cozy and authentic mountain living experience.
Modern Interior Amenities: The cabin features a 'well-equipped kitchen' and a 'Smart TV' in the living area, enhancing comfort and convenience for both owners and renters.
Recent Price Adjustments: Multiple price reductions from the original list price of $339,900 to the current $319,000 indicate a motivated seller and potentially a more attractive current offering for buyers.
Cons
Compact Living Space: With only 572 square feet, the cabin offers limited interior space, which may be restrictive for some buyers or larger groups seeking more expansive living areas.
Older Property Age: Built in 1962, the property is over 60 years old, which could imply potential for outdated systems, deferred maintenance, or a need for significant renovations to meet modern standards.
Overpriced Relative to Estimation: The current list price of $319,000 is significantly higher than the estimated property value of $264,554, suggesting it may be overvalued compared to market comparables or automated valuations.
