Property Description
Offered for sale for the very first time, this cherished mountain retreat has remained in the hands of the original family since it was built in 1980. After 45 years of making memories, it's ready for its next chapter. Tucked away on a quiet loop street where traffic is virtually nonexistent, this is the kind of peaceful setting that's difficult to find in Lake Tahoe. With no homes immediately beside you and a forested hillside bordering the backyard, this property offers an exceptional sense of privacy and seclusion. Gather with family and friends on the expansive south-facing deck or unwind in the shade of the towering pine trees at the cozy sitting area tucked farther back. Through the aspens and pines, you'll even catch glimpses of beautiful Lake Tahoe. Inside, vaulted ceilings and a dramatic wall of south-facing windows fill the great room with natural light throughout the day, creating an open, airy feel that lives far larger than its 1,160 square feet. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the living space, while the open concept layout makes entertaining effortless. The main level features two bedrooms and a full bath, while a charming spiral staircase leads to a spacious loft, third bedroom, and second full bath, creating the perfect retreat for guests, kids, or a second living area. A detached one car garage provides valuable storage for all your Tahoe gear. Rarely does a home in this price range combine a garage, remarkable privacy, tall ceilings, abundant natural light, and a setting this peaceful. Lovingly maintained through the decades and offered for sale for the first time ever, this is a truly special opportunity to become only the second owner of a home that has been treasured since the day it was built.
