Experience true front-water living on Big Bear Lake. This is not a lake-view home — this is water at your own backyard. Situated on Mallard Lagoon, this tastefully updated, single-story chalet-style home features 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2,825 sq. ft. on a 9,028 sq. ft. lot, with a private custom pier and gangway at the water's edge, featuring an aluminum frame and Trex deck. Step from the sunny back deck, across a level backyard — rare for lakefront here — then down steps to your private pier, and launch a kayak or boat from calm, sheltered lagoon water. The garage has been modified with a taller door and a deeper section for boat storage, fitting a 23-foot boat plus trailer, so boating, paddleboarding, and fishing are part of everyday life here, not a trip to a shared marina. After a day on the lake, unwind in the outdoor jacuzzi. The backyard is newly fenced, giving you a private outdoor space for entertaining, just steps from the pier. Inside, the impressive great room boasts soaring cathedral ceilings, abundant wood T&G, and a wall of windows with french doors opening to the back deck and landscaped backyard. Living areas flow together for entertaining, including a formal dining area with a native rock fireplace. The updated kitchen features granite and stainless steel. All four bedrooms are on the single main level, including two master suites, with room for a crowd and easy access. A spiral staircase leads up to the loft game area above, with great views of the lake. The current owner has spent nearly $200,000 on renovations over the past two years: all-new carpeting throughout, fully remodeled bathrooms, a freshly painted interior throughout, bedrooms redone including replacement windows, and a freshly painted deck. A 50-year GAF Golden Pledge roof installed in 2020, now about six years old, adds further peace of mind. Two forced-air units keep the whole home warm. Classic chalet character, move-in-ready updates, and true lakefront access — with a private pier, a level backyard with steps down to the pier, and room for your boat — this is a rare opportunity to own front-water living on Big Bear Lake.
