Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1920, is an aged but well-maintained cabin with a distinct rustic style. While the listing mentions over $100,000 in recent improvements, including a new roof and covered front deck, the interior, particularly the kitchen and visible bathroom, appears largely dated. The kitchen features older-style white cabinets, unique live-edge wood countertops (not modern stone), a basic drop-in sink, and a relatively newer but not high-end stainless steel range. The visible bathroom is very basic with a pedestal sink and older fixtures. Flooring throughout appears to be painted wood or similar, and light fixtures are generally older. Major systems like central forced air heating are functional, but the overall aesthetic and key features in the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated, requiring minor updates for modern appeal.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Views: Boasts a desirable 'tree house setting' with a lake view, located just a few hundred feet from the lake near the dam, and nestled within the National Forest, offering unparalleled natural beauty and tranquility.
Significant Recent Upgrades: The owner has invested over $100,000 in recent improvements, including a new covered front deck and a new roof, indicating a well-maintained property with updated key components.
Large, Private Lot: Features a very substantial lot size of 104,187 sqft (approximately 2.4 acres), providing ample privacy, outdoor space, and potential for future enhancements.
Charming Rustic Features: Includes an authentic native rock fireplace, contributing to the cabin's rustic charm and providing a cozy focal point, perfectly suiting the Big Bear Lake aesthetic.
Essential Amenities & Accessibility: Equipped with central forced air heating for comfort in colder climates and offers convenient access from the highway, enhancing its practicality for residents and visitors.
Cons
Historic Age: Built in 1920, the property is over a century old, which may raise concerns about the original infrastructure, potential for hidden issues, or require specialized maintenance.
Limited Bathroom Count: With 3 bedrooms and only 1.5 bathrooms, the property may be less accommodating for larger families or groups, potentially limiting its market appeal for some buyers.
Modest Living Space: The 1151 sqft living area is relatively small, especially in contrast to the expansive lot size, which might not appeal to buyers seeking a larger home to maximize the land's potential.
