376 Riverside Avenue

Some homes make you slow down the moment you arrive. This central Sugarloaf cabin — tucked on a quiet street with mountain pines framing the yard — is one of them. Fully updated and move-in ready, it works equally well as a full-time mountain residence, a personal weekend escape, or a turnkey short-term rental in one of Southern California’s most sought-after four-season destinations. Big Bear Lake, National Forest trailheads, Pebble Plains Nature Preserve, Sugarloaf Park, and Big Bear Village dining and shopping, are all within easy reach — yet the street itself stays quiet and relaxed. Inside, the open-concept living and kitchen area is where the cabin earns its keep. The living room anchors around a beautiful wood-burning stove — genuinely cozy on a cold mountain night — with updated flooring, fresh interior paint, modern light fixtures, and new window coverings giving the space a clean, intentional feel. The kitchen has been thoughtfully upgraded with handmade Zellige tile, quartz countertops, open shelving, updated cabinetry, and modern appliances — equally suited to a quiet Sunday breakfast or hosting guests for movie night. The bedroom continues the retreat-like calm with simple, considered design, upgraded lighting, and practical storage. The bathroom is a genuine highlight: a quality Pottery Barn vanity, upgraded tub and shower fixtures, and spa-inspired finishes that feel far above the price point. Curb appeal has been well considered featuring a level graveled driveway, horizontal ranch-style fencing, fresh exterior paint, and new privacy fencing in back give the property a polished, cared-for presence. Updated insulation, electrical panel, smooth drywall, wall heater, and water heater mean the big-ticket items are done. The propane tank is filled and ready so you can move right in and feel the warmth the same night. The fenced backyard centers on a private hot tub under the pines — the kind of outdoor living that books short term rental guests and wins over full-time residents alike. After a day of hiking, mountain biking, paddling on the lake, or skiing the slopes at Bear Mountain or Snow Summit, there is genuinely nowhere better to land!
