The property, built in 1978, is well-maintained with evident pride of ownership, making it move-in ready. However, many key areas show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances but has dated painted cabinets, laminate countertops, and a very old fluorescent ceiling light fixture. Bathrooms have functional but dated vanities, mosaic tile accents, and light fixtures. While some flooring is laminate wood in good condition, other areas have older ceramic tile and very dated green carpet with pink floral wallpaper in one bedroom. The large brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove is characteristic of its era. Overall, the home is aged but maintained, with functional major components, but it requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current styles and standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive & Private Outdoor Oasis: Features a spacious double lot (14,922 sqft) with lush landscaping, mature trees, and significant potential for outdoor living or future ADU expansion.
Thoughtful & Functional Interior Layout: Offers a well-designed split floor plan providing privacy for the primary suite, complemented by an open-concept kitchen and living area ideal for entertaining.
Prime Mountain Location & Accessibility: Situated on a 'hidden gem street' with a true mountain feel, offering convenient access to Big Bear's town amenities, ski slopes, restaurants, and major highway for commuting.
Evident Pride of Ownership & Charm: The home exhibits clear signs of being well-cared-for, maintaining its 'storybook charm' and comfortable ambiance since its construction.
Versatile Use & Scenic Surroundings: Perfect as either a full-time residence or a lucrative vacation rental, enhanced by picturesque mountain, neighborhood, and tree views.

Cons

Significant Discrepancy in Valuation: The current listing price is notably 25% above the property's estimated market value, potentially impacting buyer interest and negotiation leverage.
Aging Infrastructure Considerations: Built in 1978, the property may possess original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation) that, while well-maintained, could require future updates or lead to higher operational costs compared to newer constructions.
Subpar Local School Performance: The elementary and middle schools serving the area have ratings of 4 and 3 respectively, which are below average and might be a deterrent for families prioritizing strong public education.
