    What's special

    Charming "Maltby" Log Cabin. Fall in love with this one-of-a-kind, 3 bed, 2 bath log cabin tucked away on an oversized, 12,500sf level (5-25'x100' foot lots combined versus many of the properties on one 25' x 100' parcel), corner lot parcel. Featuring a cozy stone fireplace, warm wood interiors including custom beam ceilings and split log walls at living room as well as entire exterior facade, and vintage charm, this rare find blends rustic character with peaceful surroundings. A true gem for those seeking privacy, space and timeless style-just minutes from town. Complete renovation includes newer roof, plumbing, electrical, dual pane windows, central heating and air, tankless water heater, custom kitchen with quartz, stainless appliances and vaulted ceilings, 2 custom baths with walk-in shower at hall bath, laundry closet w/stacked full size washer & dryer, vaulted beam ceiling at primary bedroom, luxury vinyl flooring throughout with decorative tile at baths, etc. Property is fully furnished with "Nordstrom" beds and professionally decorated. 3rd bedroom closet removed to enlarge kitchen but size of a bedroom, thus public records reflects a 2 bedroom. Exterior features "trek" wraparound front porch, partial fencing and large portable shed. Property can also be viewed on Airbnb or VRBO "Rainbow Connection-Big Bear". Agent is also the owner. Please call first for availability and entry code. Cabin rents often and do not want to disturb if occupied. Property is an original "Maltby" split log exterior and interior at living room. The home was built in 1936 and originally included a 1 car garage (~21' x 10.75')which was converted within a few short years after construction into a bedroom. It is believed to be permitted, however, no permit records are available before 1946. Public records indicates 913 sq. ft. with 2br/1ba. Middle bedroom has a portable closet, hence technically not considered a bedroom for public record purposes but size and utility of a bedroom. Primary bathroom was added in 2021. Owner is licensed real estate agent and certified licensed residential appraiser. Home measures 998 square feet. Difference in living area measurements versus public records could be based on current ANSI measure methods which is from exterior walls versus potential interior wall measurements from 1936. Basically, footprint of exterior, including permitted garage conversion, has not been altered as noted by original split log exterior common of highly desirable "Maltby" cabins. New ABS plumbing which are wrapped and programmed to always be at a temperature so as not to freeze or to have to be winterized, newer 200 amp electrical service, etc. Home remains cool in summer and retains heat in winter. Complete renovation includes newer roof, plumbing, electrical, dual pane windows, central heating and air, tankless water heater, custom kitchen with quartz, stainless appliances and vaulted ceilings, 2 custom baths with walk-in shower at hall bath, laundry closet w/stacked full size washer & dryer, vaulted beam ceiling at primary bedroom, luxury vinyl flooring throughout with decorative tile at baths, etc. Property is fully furnished with "Nordstrom" beds and professionally decorated. Exterior features "trek" wraparound front porch, partial fencing and large portable shed. Property can also be viewed on Airbnb "Rainbow Connection-Big Bear". Agent is also the owner.
