Pros & Cons

Pros

Income Potential & Turnkey Ready: Currently operating as a successful vacation rental and being sold fully furnished, offering immediate income potential and a hassle-free transition for a new owner.
Prime Mountain Location: Situated in the desirable Moonridge area, minutes from ski resorts, The Village, dining, grocery stores, and shopping, providing excellent access to Big Bear's attractions.
Charming Architectural Features: Features an open-concept layout with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and two impressive stone fireplaces, creating a warm and inviting mountain ambiance.
Enhanced Outdoor Living: Boasts two spacious decks perfect for lounging and dining, complemented by a private hot tub, ideal for relaxation after outdoor activities.
Year-Round Comfort & Privacy: Equipped with both a mini-split system and forced air heating for optimal climate control, and tucked away on a large, private lot surrounded by soaring pines.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1965, the property is nearly 60 years old, which may imply potential for older infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, roof) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned.
Compact Interior Space: With 1080 square feet for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout, the interior living space might be considered compact for some buyers, especially those seeking a more expansive primary residence or larger family retreat.
Vacation Rental Management Demands: While a successful vacation rental offers income, it also entails ongoing management, cleaning, and maintenance responsibilities, which could be a drawback for buyers not interested in active property management.
