Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1965, this cabin has undergone significant and thoughtful updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen features beautiful hickory cabinets, butcher block counters, mosaic tile backsplash, and a farmhouse sink, all in good condition. The bathroom is beautifully updated with ceramic tile, a stone countertop, and even heated floor setup, indicating a recent and quality renovation. Durable bamboo flooring in the living areas, dual-pane windows, and an efficient wood-burning fireplace insert further enhance its condition. While it uses individual wall heaters instead of central HVAC and some elements like mirrored closet doors are a bit dated, the property is move-in ready with well-maintained systems and no immediate renovation required, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location: The cabin is ideally situated near dining, shopping, and year-round activities, making it highly attractive for both personal use and potential rental income in Big Bear Lake.
Extensively Updated Interior: Features thoughtful updates including dual-pane windows, a beautifully remodeled kitchen with hickory cabinets, butcher block counters, and a farmhouse sink, plus an updated bathroom with ceramic tile and heated floor setup.
Charming Mountain Aesthetics: The property retains its rustic charm with vaulted open-beam tongue-and-groove ceilings, a cozy stone fireplace with an efficient wood-burning insert, and durable bamboo flooring, enhancing its appeal as a mountain retreat.
Outdoor Amenities & Space: A large lot offers ample parking, mature trees, a fenced backyard, and a relaxing spa, providing excellent outdoor living and entertainment opportunities.
Practical Features & Storage: Includes a separate garage with a dedicated washer & dryer area and plenty of storage, along with built-in storage in the loft bedroom, adding significant convenience and utility.

Cons

Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for three bedrooms, this could be a functional limitation for families or multiple guests, potentially impacting comfort and convenience.
Age of Structure: Built in 1965, while updated, the underlying structure is older, which may imply potential for unseen infrastructure issues (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that were not explicitly mentioned as upgraded.
Heating System: Bedrooms rely on individual wall heaters, which may be less efficient or provide less uniform comfort compared to a central heating system, despite the presence of a wood-burning fireplace in the living area.
