Honored as a featured home in the 1999 Soroptimist Home Tour, the viewing decks offer premium views of the annual Big Bear Lake 4th of July Fireworks display. |
|
|
| Nestled among majestic pines and oaks, this beautiful retreat offers breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and treetops. |
|
Reflecting its surroundings, the interior exudes warmth and comfort through the extensive use of natural woods. |
| Cedar lines most of the walls and ceilings; natural pine covers the ceilings in the living room and loft; and numerous built-in Oak cabinets with "white-wood" interiors are throughout the home. |
|
|
|
It has been described as "what it would feel like to live in a tree-house". |
|
|
|
The upper and lower Redwood
rear decks create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility surrounded
by gorgeous terrain and fresh mountain air.
|
| From the covered front porch, the warmth of the home immediately envelopes you as you enter the used-brick-lined warming room, complete with brick fireplace and coat closet which aid in the drying of clothing and equipment. French doors lead to the foyer of the main living area. |
| The expansive living and dining areas, the "Great Room", invite you to relax and enjoy the majestic views through large Anderson dual-paned windows. Optix blinds, "sunglasses for windows", completely eliminate sun-fading U.V. light, while preserving the view. |
