Inside, you'll find a comfortable and functional floor plan highlighted by a cozy fireplace, creating an inviting atmosphere for full-time residents, long-term tenants, or weekend mountain getaways. The corner lot location enhances accessibility while providing additional space and curb appeal. One of the property's standout features is the oversized 3-car garage—a rare find in Big Bear.

Conveniently located near major routes in and out of the valley, the property offers easy access for commuters, second-home owners, and visitors alike. Its proximity to the airport, shopping, outdoor recreation, and year-round mountain activities further enhances its desirability.
