Circa 1977, a local developer sets out to build ‘A-Frame Homes’ with 4-sided roofs called Gambrels (flat-top vs peaks) …he is rumored to have built ~44 within the Big Bear area, and this one was lucky enough to have been built on an oversized lot full of mature trees right in the heart of Gilner Point! Location, location, location. Gilner Point being one of three peninsulas that protrudes into the lake. So yes, this home is nested within a great community of huge old-growth pines, quiet streets, and endless lake waters nearby …walk in any direction, water… of course, or head to The Village, The Marina, or the many restaurants, shops, skiing, etc …it’s all nearby! 4th of July with neighbors at the waters’ edge, so much fun! Now about the home, yes only two owners -true, the first preserved the ’70s yellow & orange shag carpet and all the wonderful wood everywhere for 40 years, yup even a few sheets of wood paneling still exist today -groovy baby! Then the second owners, they kept the shag carpet on the stairs to the loft/bedrooms, so cool, and yes, the incredible orange floating fireplace still commands the living room, as it should! However, everything else has been upgraded for modern times. Newer roof system, dual-pane windows, natural gas furnace & hot water, all the appliances, and even the flooring throughout, now wood-grained vinyl. Pretty much, everything has been upgraded within the past 2-8 years. So this home offers a little taste of old world charm, yet all the modern amenities you would expect today! And did we mention this home is offered turnkey, so lots of goodies also included. Plus a few fun things; the kayaks, bicycle, games, etc -all included. This home has an enclosed lower basement/crawlspace ~351 sq ft for storage of the tools and the toys! So we have a great location, a wonderfully upgraded home, and a few goodies to offer :). Come see this home for yourself, come see us today!! Btw, one last note, while this home has been primarily a second home for fun, it has also been a registered rental home through Cool Cabins, with average gross receipts of over $12K per year, per the past 5 years. Nice little revenue stream is possible too.
