Built in 1979, this property is 45 years old. While the kitchen has been remodeled with 'craftsman flair' including painted cabinets, a copper sink, and stainless steel appliances, it still features a dated fluorescent light fixture. Two of the bathrooms have been stylishly updated with clawfoot tubs and vessel sinks, but the third bathroom appears dated with a standard tub/shower and tile countertop. The property is well-maintained with some cosmetic updates, but the age of the home implies that major systems may be older and some areas still require minor updates to achieve a fully modern standard.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Exceptional location offering walking distance to Lake Arrowhead shoreline and the charming town of Blue Jay, while being conveniently tucked away just one block from the main road.
Strong Investment Potential: Proven rental income with an existing Short-Term Rental (STR) permit, making it an attractive option for investors or those seeking to offset ownership costs.
Versatile Living Spaces: Features 3 bedrooms plus a bonus room easily convertible to a 4th, and a lower level with separate access, offering flexibility for a game room, bunk room, family room, or a standalone studio.
Desirable Views: Boasts expansive views of Blue Jay Bay on Lake Arrowhead, mountains, and surrounding trees/woods, enhanced by a two-story wall of picture windows and a large wrap-around deck.
Updated Kitchen & Furnished Option: Recently remodeled kitchen with craftsman flair adds modern appeal, and the option to purchase mostly furnished allows for immediate enjoyment and convenience.

Cons

Overpriced Relative to Market Value: The current listing price of $639,000 is significantly higher than the estimated property value of approximately $581,017, suggesting it may be overpriced by about 10%.
Age of Property: Built in 1979, the property is 45 years old. While the kitchen is remodeled, other major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades.
Compact Square Footage for Room Count: At 1558 sqft for 3-4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the living space might feel somewhat compact for some buyers, especially given the 'lodge style' description which often implies more expansive interiors.
