Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1978, this cabin maintains its classic mountain appeal but shows its age. The kitchen features dated dark wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and older black/white appliances. Bathrooms appear functional but are not updated. Flooring is a mix of older carpet and ceramic tile, with some visible wear. While the property is well-maintained and livable, major components like the kitchen, bathrooms, and fixtures are outdated and would require minor updates or renovations to meet modern standards.
Pros & Cons

Prime Recreational Location: Ideally situated near Big Bear Zoo, Bear Mountain Golf Course, and Ski Resort, offering excellent access to year-round recreational activities.

Cozy Mountain Ambiance: An efficient layout centered around a wood-burning brick fireplace creates a warm and inviting cabin atmosphere.
Cons
Compact Lot Size: The property sits on a relatively small 2500 sqft lot, which may limit outdoor space and potential for expansion.
Older Construction Year: Built in 1978, the property is over 45 years old, potentially requiring updates to systems or finishes to meet modern standards.
