The story

  • Pool

Nestled on a generous, tree-lined lot of over 10,000 square feet, this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom retreat perfectly captures the classic Big Bear lifestyle. The journey inside begins with a level entry from a huge parking pad that comfortably accommodates three to four cars, making arrivals seamless in any season. The oversized lot is wrapped in mature trees, providing that highly sought-after "cabin in the woods" privacy while keeping you just minutes away from world-class skiing, hiking trails, golf course and Moonridge Zoo. Fantastic views of both ski slopes and partial lakeviews in the distance. Inside, the 1,588-square-foot home boasts the perfect mountain floor plan, offering an exceptional foundation to bring your own design ideas to life. While the interior is ready for some cosmetic updating, the bones and layout are exactly what buyers look for in an alpine getaway. The open-concept living area is framed by peaceful territorial views and centers around a cozy fireplace, creating an incredibly inviting space to warm up and unwind after a day out on the slopes or the water. Step outside onto the newer upper deck, an ideal sanctuary for entertaining, BBQing, or simply soaking in the crisp mountain air and tall pines. For those looking to add even more value, the property features a large build-up area below the home ripe for future expansion, whether you want to create a game room, workshop, or extra living quarters. This is a rare opportunity to customize a classic mountain home with incredible upside, great parking, and a premium lot. Price to sell.
