Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1996, this property has undergone significant updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear to have been renovated within the last 5-15 years. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a stylish mosaic backsplash. Bathrooms boast contemporary tiled showers with glass enclosures and updated vanities. The consistent wood-look tile flooring throughout, modern light fixtures, and overall well-maintained condition make this home move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The log cabin aesthetic is well-executed and appears fresh, not dated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Privacy: The home backs to a permanent open space easement, offering unparalleled tranquility and privacy within the highly sought-after Eagle Mountain Estates neighborhood.
High Bedroom-to-Bathroom Ratio: With 5 bedrooms, each featuring its own private bathroom, and a total of 8 bathrooms, the property is exceptionally well-suited for large groups, extended families, or potential vacation rental income.
Rustic Charm & Durable Finishes: The property boasts authentic log accents throughout, creating a true cabin-in-the-woods ambiance, complemented by durable and resistant tile flooring.
Scenic Views & Outdoor Living: Enjoy very nice scenery and utmost peace and quiet from the deck, enhanced by a substantial 28,100 sqft lot size and desirable 'Trees/Woods' view.
Strong Rental Potential: The spacious layout, numerous en-suite bathrooms, and desirable Big Bear Lake location make this property highly attractive for short-term vacation rentals, offering significant income potential.
Cons
Extended Market Time & Price Adjustment: The property has been on the market for nearly a year and has undergone a price reduction from its original listing, which may suggest initial overpricing or challenges in attracting offers.
Lower-Rated Local Schools: The elementary and middle schools in the district have relatively low ratings (2 and 3 respectively), which could be a significant drawback for families with school-aged children.
Limited Detail on Modern Upgrades: While described as 'luxurious,' the property description lacks specific details on modern high-end amenities, smart home features, or recent major renovations beyond flooring and log accents, which buyers might expect for a 1996 build at this price point.
