Despite being built in 1920, this property has undergone significant and tasteful renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern dark shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances (range, microwave, refrigerator), updated countertops, and a mosaic tile backsplash, complemented by recessed lighting. The flooring throughout includes updated wood laminate in living areas and large format tile in the kitchen/laundry, all in good condition. The laundry area also shows newer white shaker cabinets and modern front-loading washer/dryer. The exterior of both cabins appears well-maintained with fresh wood siding and decks. While no bathroom images were provided, the visible updates in other key areas suggest a well-cared-for home that has been extensively renovated within the last 10-20 years, ensuring functionality and comfort.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income Potential / Multi-Generational Living: The property features two separate homes on one lot, offering significant potential for rental income, guest accommodations, or multi-generational living arrangements.
Prime Big Bear Lake Location: Situated in 'Lower Moonridge' and the 'heart of Big Bear Lake,' it boasts excellent proximity to the forest, local zoo, Bear Mountain Ski Resort, and a golf course, appealing to outdoor enthusiasts.
Dual-Home Configuration: The unique setup of two distinct homes (2-bedroom main, 1-bedroom additional unit) provides rare versatility and broadens its appeal to various buyer profiles.
Spacious Lot Size: A generous 7,500 square foot lot offers ample outdoor space, privacy, and potential for further landscaping or outdoor amenities.
Flexible Purchase Option: The availability of a 'Lease Option' provides a flexible purchasing pathway, potentially attracting a wider range of buyers who may not qualify for traditional financing immediately.

Cons

Historic Property Age: Built in 1920, the property is over a century old, which may imply the need for significant updates to plumbing, electrical systems, insulation, and general modernization to meet contemporary standards and efficiency.
Recent Price Reductions & Valuation Discrepancy: Multiple price reductions from the original list price and a current list price slightly above the estimated market value ($565,000 vs. $547,743) suggest potential market resistance or initial overpricing.
Lower-Rated Local Schools: Some nearby elementary and middle schools have lower ratings (2-3 out of 10), which could be a deterrent for families prioritizing highly-rated public education.
