Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1974, this chalet-style home has undergone significant modern updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features updated cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and modern fixtures, though the refrigerator appears older. Bathrooms are also updated with contemporary vanities, sinks, and lighting. Flooring throughout is a mix of well-maintained hardwood and LVP/laminate. While the core structure is older and the heating system appears to rely on wall heaters rather than central HVAC, the property is move-in ready with a refreshed aesthetic, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating ADU: The property features a spacious Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with an updated kitchenette, offering significant potential for supplemental rental income (short-term or long-term) or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Boasts an 'EXCELLENT' Walk and Drive Score, situated within walking distance to the National Forest, 1.7 miles from the lake, and approximately 1 mile from year-round attractions like the Convention Center, Big Bear Snow Play, and dining.
Charming Architectural Features: The main cabin showcases a custom chalet design with a wall of windows, vaulted wood and beam ceilings, and a mid-century modern wood-burning stove, creating a unique and inviting ambiance.
Outdoor Amenities & Parking: Located on a large corner lot with mature trees, the property offers ample parking including a wraparound driveway and a 2-car garage, plus a private hot tub for relaxation and stargazing.
Versatile Living Spaces: Beyond the main living areas, the property includes an upstairs loft with library-like shelving and a 'reading nook' in a downstairs bedroom, providing diverse and functional spaces for various needs.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1974, the property's age may imply original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future maintenance or upgrades, potentially increasing long-term ownership costs.
Price Reduction History: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original list price, which could suggest it was initially overpriced or has faced challenges in attracting buyer interest.
Subpar Middle School Rating: The assigned middle school has a rating of 3, which might be a concern for families with school-aged children prioritizing highly-rated public education options.
