Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1981, shows a mixed condition. While the bathrooms have been beautifully and newly renovated with modern finishes, the kitchen remains significantly dated with older wood cabinets, laminate countertops, a dated tile backsplash, and white appliances, which would likely require immediate updating for most buyers. The overall home is well-maintained with updated flooring in living areas, but the rustic cabin aesthetic and the outdated kitchen prevent it from being classified as 'Good' despite the excellent bathroom renovations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Upgrades & Modern Finishes: The property boasts beautifully renovated bathrooms with refined tile, stone finishes, open showers, and modern stonework, significantly enhancing its interior appeal and value.
Versatile Outdoor & Storage Space: An expansive yard with sunny and covered entertaining areas, plus three outbuildings (one with electricity ideal for a workshop/office), provides exceptional utility and recreational potential.
Cozy Cabin Ambiance & Functional Layout: Embodying a 'True Big Bear Cabin' feel with an open-concept living area centered around a wood-burning stove, it offers a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for mountain living.
Ample Parking & Recreational Vehicle Storage: The property offers generous parking for 3-5 vehicles, including dedicated RV space, and secure storage for outdoor gear like bikes, skis, and ATVs, a significant advantage in a resort area.
Desirable Location with Views: Situated in Big Bear Lake, a popular destination, the property benefits from mountain, neighborhood, and tree/woods views, enhancing its appeal for both full-time residents and vacation rentals.

Cons

Compact Square Footage: At 1102 sqft, the interior living space is relatively compact for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, which might limit appeal for buyers seeking more expansive rooms or living areas.
Galley Kitchen Layout: While functional, the 'galley kitchen' design may not appeal to all modern buyers who often prefer more open-concept kitchen layouts for entertaining and daily living.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1981, the property's core structure is over 40 years old. While bathrooms are upgraded, potential buyers may have concerns about the condition or age of other major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) not explicitly mentioned as updated.
