This custom-built, one-of-a-kind, Big Bear Lake, view home was built in 1968. Never on the market before! Proudly reflecting the mid-century era w/ asymmetrical angles, beamed vaulted ceilings, large picture windows and a big stone fireplace w/ a grand hearth.
Depending upon the time of day or night, it’s hard to decide if the lake views or the fireplace are the focal point. Located within the prestigious Papoose Bay Estates HOA enclave, WITHOUT the cost of paying an HOA. This home was the first home built on this point, later, the HOA tract was built up around it.
It boasts one of the largest lots in the neighborhood, and enjoys ground level access from the garage, carport, or driveway to the main house (accessed from the private road at the end of Talbot culdesac).
