Big Bear Lake, California
MAGIC lives here! Set amid lush, park-like landscaping & tall pines, this Boulder Bay home makes an unforgettable first impression, where character & craftsmanship come alive through dramatic architecture, extraordinary detail & a spectacular stone fireplace at its heart! Reimagined as a passion project for the owner’s retirement, this was never a remodel intended for resale. Much of the home was taken to the studs, with craftsmanship, beauty & longevity guiding the renovation. The owner has never lived here, offering you the rare opportunity to be the first to experience the magic. Walk, ride or roll to the lake & Pleasure Pt Marina for boating, paddling & fishing, with the Village, restaurants & slopes just minutes away. Beautifully landscaped yards create a world of their own with colorful plantings, rock-lined beds, low-maintenance fencing & automated drip irrigation. Pergola & patios offer inviting spaces amid the trees to gather with friends or family. The Great Room delivers an undeniable WOW factor with soaring T&G wood ceilings, dramatic beams & an expanse of glass inviting the outside…in. A magnificent floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace crafted by a longtime Big Bear master mason is as much art as warmth. Wood-burning with gas logs installed for convenience, it can offer the ease of gas or a traditional wood fire. Provenza Old World Collection hardwood flooring adds richness & character. The remodeled kitchen pairs crisp white soft-close cabinetry & quartz counters with an artful textured backsplash & stunning Bosch stainless appliances. A spacious pantry adds fantastic storage. The 905 sq ft, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom floorplan flows nicely, making wonderful use of its space. The main-level berm overlooks the beautiful yard with a nice closet & great access to a full bathroom. The large loft makes a fabulous second bedroom, where wood floors, dramatic beams, natural light & architectural character create a lovely, flexible space with room for multiple beds or sleeping & play areas. A full ensuite bathroom & full-size washer/dryer complete the retreat. New dual-pane windows, wall insulation, interior copper water lines & heating add value behind the scenes. The roof was replaced with a premium 24-gauge standing-seam metal system, adding longevity & peace of mind. The oversized garage offers storage above for toys & tools. Great location, easy access & a strong rental projection add good STR potential. For those seeking the extraordinary…welcome home.
