Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1983, this cabin home is well-maintained and appears move-in ready, but its interior finishes, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, are significantly outdated. The kitchen features older wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and black appliances. Bathrooms have dated tile work, wood vanities, and linoleum/vinyl flooring. While functional, these elements, along with the extensive wood paneling and carpeted areas, indicate the property has not undergone a major modern renovation in the last 15-20 years. It fits the 'Fair' category as it is aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated, requiring minor updates for a contemporary aesthetic.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: The property boasts an excellent Moonridge location with easy access, placing it conveniently close to major Big Bear attractions including Bear Mountain, the Golf Course, the Zoo, the lake, and local stores.
Exceptional Ski Slope Views: Offers fantastic ski slope views from both a bedroom and the kitchen window, significantly enhancing the property's appeal and providing a true mountain living experience.
Desirable Cabin Amenities: Features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, spacious decks perfect for enjoying tree views and the mountain breeze, and a ready deck pad for a future spa, ideal for relaxation and entertainment.
Functional Reverse Floor Plan: The reverse floor plan maximizes the enjoyment of views from the main living areas upstairs, complemented by practical features like a spacious storage closet for gear and a safety gate for children or pets.
Inviting & Well-Maintained Interior: Described as a 'beautiful cabin home' with an 'inviting kitchen with nice cabinets,' suggesting a well-cared-for and appealing interior ready for immediate enjoyment.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1983, the property is over 40 years old, which may imply original systems (plumbing, electrical, heating) that could require future maintenance or upgrades to meet modern standards.
Limited Bedroom Count: With only 2 bedrooms, the property's capacity for overnight guests or larger families might be limited, potentially narrowing its appeal despite being described as suitable for 'a whole crowd to entertain'.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: Typical for many mountain cabins, the description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a minor consideration for comfort during warmer summer months, though less critical than in hotter climates.
