With a 2-car garage and access to gym and clubhouse facilities, this home is perfect for a year-round escape.
This spacious and inviting mountain retreat is the perfect setting for your Tahoe getaway. As you step inside from the attached 2-car garage, you’re greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with serene forested views visible throughout the home. The fully equipped kitchen is designed for both functionality and socializing, featuring updated appliances, a drip coffee maker, and a 4-barstool kitchen island—perfect for casual breakfasts or evening drinks. The adjacent 9-person dining table invites everyone to gather for shared meals and plan your adventures. The living room boasts a 55” Smart TV and a wood-burning fireplace, creating an ideal spot to relax after a day on the slopes or exploring nearby trails. For added convenience, a half bathroom is located on the upper floor near the main living space, while the ground floor offers a full bath conveniently situated near the 2 bedrooms. For additional entertainment, the ground-floor bonus room comes with a 50” Smart TV and Murphy bunk beds, offering a fun and comfortable space for the kids or extra guests. Throughout the home, central heating keeps you warm during the colder months, and the convenient washer/dryer ensures you’re always ready for your next adventure.
When it’s time to tuck in for the night, the upper-floor master suite serves as a peaceful sanctuary, complete with its own electric fireplace and beautiful forest views—offering a perfect retreat at the end of the day. On the lower level, 2 additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and friends.
