Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 2003, making it 21 years old. While the structure appears sound, the interior shows significant signs of being outdated and in need of cosmetic updates. The kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, worn laminate countertops, older white appliances (stove, microwave, refrigerator), and what appears to be worn vinyl or linoleum flooring. The living areas and bedrooms have worn carpets and dated paint colors, with the listing description explicitly stating it's a 'blank canvas ready for your personal touch' and suggesting 'fresh paint and new flooring.' There are no images of the bathroom, but based on the rest of the home, it's likely in a similar condition. The property requires minor updates and renovations to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Price Reduction: The property has seen a substantial price reduction from its original listing of $249,900 to $214,900, indicating strong seller motivation and offering a more attractive entry point for buyers.
Spacious Lot with Expansion Potential: Situated on a generous 7,500 sqft lot, the property provides ample outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or future home expansion, adding significant long-term value.
Scenic Mountain Views: Boasting beautiful views of Gold Mountain, the property offers an appealing natural backdrop, enhancing its desirability and providing a serene living environment.
Energy-Efficient Heating: Equipped with an energy-efficient wood-burning stove, the home provides cozy, cost-saving warmth, a practical and desirable feature for the Big Bear climate.
Versatile Investment Opportunity: Described as a 'blank canvas' ideal for first-time buyers, investors, or those looking to customize, the property offers significant potential for personalization and value appreciation.
Cons
Requires Immediate Renovation: The property is presented as a 'blank canvas' needing 'fresh paint and new flooring,' indicating immediate and necessary investment for cosmetic updates and personalization.
Compact Living Space: With only 800 sqft, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, the home offers a compact floor plan that may be restrictive for larger households or those desiring more expansive living areas.
Potential for Additional Costs: The need for significant cosmetic upgrades implies additional financial outlay beyond the purchase price, which could be a deterrent for budget-conscious buyers or those seeking a move-in ready home.
