About This Home

As of September 2022

Big Bear Pen Mountain is the location of this three-bedroom, three-bath home that is being sold furnished and is move-in ready! This home checks so many of the boxes you'd want in a home whether you are buying to live in year-round, come seasonally, or offer as a short-term rental. This property has been under a vacation rental program for many years. All on one easy, living level with only a few steps to enter. The split bedroom plan floorplan makes it easy for everyone to have their own privacy. Wood floors throughout, with a wood, raised ceiling in the great room evoke a warm, mountain feel. Even though this home was built over 35 years ago, its renovations made it a beautiful place to call home and is right in line with trendy updates. Custom kitchen, covered and screened back porch for relaxing or dining. The dining area can open up to the covered porch area, offering a wonderful flow for dinner parties. There is a shared, paved driveway that leads right into the spacious two-car garage. Being sold fully furnished with the exception of a few personal items, this home is ready for you. At the time of the listing, there is a vacation rental in place that will be honored, whether a buyer waits until October to close, or the buyer takes on the renter. This property is located next to the Highlands Greenway Trail, so you can practically walk out of your door and be in the middle of the woods on a nature hike. Located close to Main Street, Highlands, and is just a few minutes from shopping in a town recently named in the top ten list of Best Small Town Shopping in the United States! Dining options range from hamburger places to 4-star dining and Wine Spectator Award-winning places.
