Description

This 4472 square feet, tri-level home is a classic mountain cabin. At nearly 8000 feet is spectacular Big Bear Lake, where Route 18 divides at the dam to become North Shore Drive in one direction and Big Bear Boulevard in the other. The City of Big Bear Lake sits six miles away on the opposite shore to the town of Fawnskin where 39128 North Shore Drive is situated on a large flat lot. Stairs take one to the main house to the left of the 1400- square-foot commercial workspace. This space consists of an office, workshop, quarter bath, and storage off the oversized garage, and is wired for a 3-phase, 460-volt feed from the pole. The cedar siding of this home shines as one enters the front door. The most beautiful Jeffrey pine at the entry is encapsulated as part of the structure. Upon entering the house is a mud room that opens to the dining room and kitchen. Beyond the dining room is the spectacular formal living space with huge wood-framed windows and double doors to 380 square feet of patio with a peek-a-boo view of the lake. The home is full of natural light. The wall behind the bar is artfully inlaid with wine bottle corks. The upper two levels have three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms are currently used as AirBnB rentals. The kitchen is spacious with a new fridge and stove, plenty of cabinets, and tile countertops. The window has a view of the backyard that opens directly onto the National Forest. One guest bedroom and full bathroom are on this first level plus a family room with wood burning custom fireplace made from valley-mined stones. Built-in audio and video cabinets are recessed. The upper level of the house features the primary bedroom with an ensuite bath. A third bedroom and full bath are closed off from the large living space where a fourth bedroom could easily be configured. A staircase leads down to the commercial area. Big Bear Airport is seven miles away. The nearby lake offers a range of fishing (trout and bass) and other recreational possibilities. In winter the surrounding San Bernardino Mountains are ideal skiing grounds with three ski resorts. In summer, Bear Mountain is a favorite for bikers and golfers.
