This custom-built, one-of-a-kind, Big Bear Lake, view home was built in 1968. Never on the market before! Proudly reflecting the mid-century era w/ asymmetrical angles, beamed vaulted ceilings, large picture windows and a big stone fireplace w/ a grand hearth. Depending upon the time of day or night, its hard to decide if the lake views or the fireplace are the focal point. Located within the prestigious Papoose Bay Estates HOA enclave, WITHOUT the cost of paying an HOA. This home was the first home built on this point, later, the HOA tract was built up around it. It boasts one of the largest lots in the neighborhood, and enjoys ground level access from the garage, carport, or driveway to the main house (accessed from the private road at the end of Talbot culdesac). The main level home is on the 2nd level of the structure, w/ two steps to the front entry door (right/north side) and no steps on the south side to its kitchen door. The main home has 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a wonderfully flowing floorplan, w/ jack/jill access to both bathrooms, and ensuite access from both bedrooms. A little laundry room offers a stacked washer/dryer between the kitchen and the 1/2 bathroom. The primary is so spacious, including a 30sqft walk-in closet, built-in armoire drawers and cabinets, a mounted, large screen, smart TV and built-in audio speakers, plus access to the primary bathroom that boasts a dual sink vanity, a separate soaking tub, and a walk-in shower, replete w/ a heating lamp for cool, snowy days. This home is currently operating as a permitted short term vacation rental, earning up to $500/night! The detached garage offers storage of 4 cars in tandem arrangement, or a low-profile boat w/ 2 cars. PLUS there are stairs to the 2nd level attic for an amazing amount of storage (could become a man-cave, a she-shed or game room?). There is plumbing in the garage and a functional washer/dryer set. Downstairs (access from the south side stairwell) curves around to the front entry door of the lower level studio. This 500+ sqft studio is equipped w/ kitchen, heat and 3/4 bath, as well as lots of storage. Upper level sleeps 10, lower level sleeps 4. Heres your fully furnished getaway, with dreamy views, at a really affordable price in one the most renowned locations in all of Big Bear Lake! Numerous marinas to launch your boat from and walking points to enjoy the lake by. Near Castle Rock hiking trail. Minutes from the Village for dining, entertainment and shopping.
