Property Description
Just a few blocks from the public dock at beautiful Serene Lakes, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin blends classic mountain charm with thoughtful modern updates. Built in 1966 and refreshed throughout, the 1,280 sq ft home offers easy, comfortable living in a prime location for year-round adventure.

Whether it's paddleboarding, hiking, biking, or simply soaking in the alpine setting, this home is perfectly positioned to make the most of every season. Inside, exposed beam ceilings and a cozy pellet stove with a custom tile hearth and log mantle create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. New luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, while the open living and dining area flows seamlessly into a spacious kitchen with generous counter space, ample storage, and a newer refrigerator. Both bathrooms have been fully remodeled with stylish tile finishes, walk-in showers, and custom vanities. Updated lighting, custom alder wood trim, wood wainscoting, and handcrafted interior doors, including barn doors, add character and a cohesive, elevated mountain aesthetic. Relax on the peaceful front porch or unwind on the private back deck. A rare, flat oversized parking pad provides convenient year-round access with space for multiple vehicles. Located just minutes from hiking/biking trails, Donner Ski Ranch, Royal Gorge Cross Country Ski Resort, and Sugar Bowl Resort - and only 14 miles from Truckee - 5225 Palisades Rd is ideally suited as a relaxing vacation retreat, a comfortable full-time residence, or a compelling investment opportunity.
