Big Bear Lake, California
Perched to capture breathtaking lake views, this extraordinary custom home is a rare blend of artistry, history, and craftsmanship—where every detail tells a story. Engineered and designed for the downstairs primary to be two separate bedrooms for a total of three bedrooms, if 2 huge primary suites aren't enough for your needs. From the moment you enter, you’re welcomed by rich character and thoughtful design. Underfoot, 150-year-old antique oak floors—reclaimed from Carlisle Harwood—set a warm, timeless tone. Curated lighting throughout the home adds depth and meaning, including Navajo sconces in the half bath, at the entry, and beyond. Descriptive tags at the antique bar further share the story behind these unique pieces. Three stunning chandeliers by artist Lisa Nardone, featured in the Sundance catalog, create an elegant focal point—each one a statement of refined taste. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring limestone countertops embedded with fossils, a country sink, self-closing drawers, custom hardware, and a premium Garner BlueStar range. Even the materials invite discovery, with a tile at the bar identifying the specific type of limestone used. Designed for both comfort and privacy, the residence offers two expansive primary suites. Each full bathroom is appointed with spa-like amenities, including heated floors & steam showers. Three gorgeous split granite stone fireplaces add warmth and ambiance across the living spaces. Step outside to three redwood decks, perfectly positioned to take in the serene surroundings and sweeping lake views. Built with an uncompromising commitment to quality, the seller has preserved a book documenting the home’s construction—an enduring testament to the care and craftsmanship poured into every inch. For those seeking a one-of-a-kind retreat where luxury meets legacy, this home stands truly apart.
