Property Description
A Big Bear original from 1922, and the bones are everything you'd hope for. Knotty pine tongue-and-groove ceilings run throughout the home, from the open main living area to the sprawling lower level, tying a century of genuine mountain character together in a way no new build can replicate. The natural stone fireplace, stacked floor to ceiling with a log mantel, anchors the living room and sets the tone for everything else.
The kitchen keeps up its end: granite countertops, maple cabinets, and a gas range, all in a layout that actually works for cooking. A slate-tiled entry with a vintage lantern and cabin-style paneled walls opens into the main living space through one of the home's most distinctive details, a hand-carved wavy doorframe that signals early on this is not a cookie-cutter cabin. The primary suite is connected to the living area, with its own bath and closet and an antler light fixture that fits the setting perfectly.
The living and dining area opens onto the elevated deck, where mountain views through the ponderosa pines meet a sliver of Big Bear Lake in the distance and a hot tub waiting after a day on the slopes or the water. The stained wood deck and staircase give the exterior a classic Big Bear mountain-home feel and connect both levels of the property.
The lower level is where the layout earns its flexibility. A spacious bonus room with its own full bath is ready to serve as a second sleeping space, a media room, or both. A raised lounge platform gives the floor plan an energy that is hard to categorize and easy to appreciate. A dedicated laundry room with a stacked washer and dryer completes the level.
As a retreat, the checklist practically fills itself: multiple full baths across a multi-level floor plan, in-unit laundry, a hot tub, a stone fireplace, and a location that delivers every season. Boulder Bay Park is a short walk to the water's edge. Pleasure Point Marina, the Castle Rock Trail, and Big Bear's Village are all nearby. Snow Summit is under five miles. As a year-round home, the character and the setting make a strong case on their own. A rare piece of Big Bear history in one of the lake's most sought-after pockets. Included 100-Day Home Warranty with buyer activation
