About 955 Big Bearpen Road
Nestled in the highly sought-after Big Bear Pen area of Highlands, this charming furnished mountain home offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and timeless Highlands appeal. Featuring two spacious bedrooms, each with its own private full bath, the thoughtfully designed floor plan also includes a versatile bonus room ideal for a guest room, den, study—or a combination of all three. An additional flex space near the kitchen provides the perfect spot for a pantry, extra storage, or a cozy home office. Warm wood floors throughout create an inviting atmosphere and complement the generously sized living spaces. The covered screened porch is perfect for entertaining friends over a small dinner party or simply enjoying a peaceful morning coffee surrounded by nature. Originally built in 1985 and extensively renovated in 2011, the home was expanded to include a spacious Primary Suite featuring a walk-in closet plus two additional closets, a tiled bath, dedicated laundry room, and attached two-car garage. Designed for easy mountain living, there are only four steps to enter, with the remainder of the home conveniently situated on one level. Lovingly maintained as a successful vacation rental for decades, this property offers excellent potential to help offset the cost of a second home investment. The naturally landscaped grounds provide beauty with minimal maintenance, allowing more time to enjoy everything Highlands has to offer. Offered furnished with very few exceptions, this is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready mountain retreat in one of Highlands’ most desirable neighborhoods.
