One of the more interesting custom homes on the mountain! Heavy timber used throughout, and eclectic use of wood tones, chevron panels, pecky cedar and railroad ties, making each room unique. Located on very quiet street right on the EDGE OF THE NATIONAL FOREST, this house gives a marvelous feeling of seclusion and quiet isolation, while still offering convenient close access to all the attractions of Big Bear. The large back yard opens up into the National Forest, and a full wrap-around deck surrounds three sides of the home. There is even a sledding hill and tree house out back for the kids. Two-stories, the upper floor includes a full bath and two bedrooms with a queen bed and 3 twin sleigh beds. The comfortable living room features an old fashioned wood-burning stove, FLAT SCREEN TV and Blue-Ray, and magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows with VIEWS of Gold Mountain, opening into the bright and spacious kitchen with a lovely view of the forest. Both living room and kitchen open out onto the enormous wrap-around deck, featuring a BBQ, deck chairs, lovely views of the forest, and visiting birds and squirrels. Downstairs, the master suite includes a custom queen canopy log bed and full bath with over-sized jacuzzi tub (jets do not work), making this retreat a nice combination of creature comforts and rustic décor. In addition, a full-size futon, roll-away twin, and full-length couch are also handy for large groups. A large entryway mudroom is convenient for storing all those wet ski jackets and muddy boots. A beautiful location, lots of parking, and a delightful feeling of quiet and seclusion make this the perfect getaway for anything from skiing, boating, mountain biking, absorbing the fresh pine forest, relaxing in the sun with a multitude of birds singing in nearby trees, hiking or snowshoeing in the forest, writing a masterpiece or composing that symphony.
