Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1981, this property is over 40 years old and shows significant signs of its age. While the exterior appears well-maintained, the interior is largely original or from an early renovation. The kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and fluorescent lighting. Both bathrooms have outdated vanities, laminate counters, and strip lighting. Throughout the home, there are dated carpets (brown shag, teal), worn wood flooring, popcorn ceilings, and old light fixtures. The property is functional but requires substantial modernization and updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with no major renovations since construction, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 14500, living area = 1888.
Prime Recreational Location: Situated on a peaceful dead-end street, the property offers convenient access to Big Bear Lake's key attractions, including hiking trails, the village, ski slopes, and the lake itself, enhancing its appeal as a vacation home or primary residence.

Versatile Living Configuration: With both upstairs and downstairs living areas, two fireplaces, and separate entrances, the home offers flexible living arrangements, ideal for multi-generational families or potential rental opportunities.
Unique Character & Potential: The property includes a historic cabin and offers 'endless possibilities,' suggesting significant potential for customization, expansion, or value addition through renovation.
Practical Amenities: A two-car garage provides valuable storage and parking, a significant advantage in a mountain community like Big Bear Lake.
Cons
Requires Modernization: Built in 1981, the property explicitly states 'some updating' is needed, indicating potential for significant renovation costs to meet contemporary aesthetic and functional standards.
Ambiguity of 'Historic Cabin': While unique, the mention of a 'historic cabin' on the property lacks specific details regarding its condition, utility, or potential maintenance requirements, which could be an unknown cost factor.
Age-Related Maintenance: As a 1981 build, the home may incur higher ongoing maintenance costs typical of older properties, including potential updates to systems, insulation, or general wear and tear.
