Property Description
Discover the timeless charm of this classic 1954 Lake Tahoe cabin at 952 San Jose Avenue, where the crisp mountain air mingles with the scent of towering pines in South Lake Tahoe's historic Al Tahoe neighborhood. Just moments from the azure expanse of Lake Tahoe's shores, this two-story, 1,036-square-foot retreat embodies the rustic elegance of Old Tahoe, with sunlight streaming through windows to create a warm, inviting glow. Envision mornings filled with the chorus of birdsong, as you sip coffee in a space that seamlessly blends cozy comfort with the boundless outdoor adventures that define this iconic destination.Enter into a living room anchored by an insert gas fireplace, its flames dancing softly against the backdrop of laminate floors that echo with the patina of cherished memories. The layout thoughtfully divides across levels: downstairs, a private bedroom and full bathroom provide a serene escape, perhaps for overnight guests or a tranquil reading nook, while upstairs offers two more bedrooms and another bath, each capturing glimpses of the lush, forested surroundings. Venture outdoors to a fully fenced backyard, a private sanctuary framed by mature evergreens and seasonal wildflowers, complete with a practical storage shed for housing skis, bikes, or paddleboards. Imagine summer barbecues under a canopy of blue skies, the aroma of grilled pine-smoked treats wafting through the air, or winter evenings blanketed in snow, with the neighborhood's quiet streets transforming into pathways for snowshoeing. This prime Al Tahoe location immerses you in South Lake Tahoe's vibrant pulse: stroll to El Dorado Beach for lakeside picnics and paddleboarding, catch live concerts at Lakeview Commons during warm-weather festivals, or bike to local bistros offering fresh-caught trout and artisanal brews. In autumn, the area erupts in fiery foliage, while spring brings blooming meadows that mirror the lake's rejuvenating sparkle.With three bedrooms and two baths artfully arranged for flexibility and comfort, this cabin serves as more than a residence, it's your portal to Lake Tahoe's year-round symphony of nature and recreation. Whether envisioning it as a family haven, a profitable short-term rental, or a personal retreat for alpine pursuits, 952 San Jose Avenue beckons with the promise of sun-dappled days and starlit nights. Seize this slice of mountain magic.
