Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1969, this property has undergone significant updates that make it largely move-in ready. The interior features updated flooring, fresh paint, modern light fixtures, and newer stainless steel kitchen appliances, including a professional-style range. The bathroom also shows updates with modern mirrors and faucets. While the kitchen and bathroom still feature dated tile countertops, these are functional and clean, not requiring immediate renovation for habitability. The overall condition is well-maintained, blending rustic charm with contemporary touches, aligning with a 'Good' rating where some components are updated but not a full recent renovation has occurred.

Strong Value Proposition: The listing price of $479,000 is approximately 16% below the estimated market value of $557,553.835, suggesting potential for immediate equity or an attractive investment opportunity.
Desirable Mountain Views: The property boasts appealing mountain and neighborhood views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and overall desirability in the Big Bear market.
Generous Lot Size: With a 7,303 sqft lot, there is ample outdoor space for potential expansion, landscaping, or recreational activities, a valuable asset in a mountain setting.

Functional Bedroom Count: The property offers 3 bedrooms, providing sufficient accommodation for families or groups, making it versatile for various living arrangements.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Facilities: Having only one bathroom for three bedrooms could be a practical inconvenience for larger households or when hosting multiple guests.
Property Age: Built in 1969, the home is over 50 years old, which may imply older systems, potential for deferred maintenance, or a need for significant updates to meet modern preferences.
Subpar Local School Ratings: The elementary and middle schools serving the area have relatively low ratings (2 and 3 respectively), which could be a concern for prospective buyers with school-aged children.
