Set on a private lot with sweeping golf course views, this inviting home combines classic Tahoe charm with thoughtful design ideal for families, groups, or anyone seeking comfort, warmth, and convenience during a longer stay.
Arrive via a gently sloping driveway with parking for up to three cars outside and two more in the spacious garage, where you'll also find a ping pong table for off-slope entertainment. A wide, wood-framed front door welcomes you into a striking entryway with exposed wood beams, vintage artwork, and tree-trunk banisters that set the tone for this elegant alpine getaway. Natural light pours in through skylights, highlighting the soaring ceilings and warm finishes throughout the home.
The main level offers a sense of ease and flow, with an open-concept layout centered around a cozy yet spacious living area. A floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace anchors the great room, surrounded by leather seating, a charming game table, and tasteful lodge decor including antlers and rustic accents. A set of French doors leads out to a paved patio overlooking the golf course perfect for enjoying crisp mornings or apres-ski sunsets.
The kitchen is fully equipped for extended stays, featuring a six-burner stovetop, Thermador oven, deep farmhouse-style sink, microwave, toaster, and all the tools needed for cooking and entertaining. An attached bar counter allows for casual meals or happy hour gatherings, while a separate prep space just off the kitchen provides additional countertop space, elegant dishware, and linens for hosting holiday dinners or special events. A nearby laundry area offers a washer, dryer, folding station, and easy access to the garage, creating a functional drop zone for groceries, ski gear, or hiking packs. This side of the home also features a convenient back staircase leading to the upper level, giving guests staying upstairs added privacy.
Tucked away on the main level is a serene primary suite with a queen bed, corner windows with forested views, a gas stove fireplace, and French doors that open to the back patio. The ensuite bathroom includes a built-in jetted soaking tub with picture windows, a spacious walk-in shower, double vanity, and a classic vintage design that evokes timeless Tahoe charm. A walk-in closet and extra cot-style bed offer flexibility for families.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with a layout perfectly suited for families or groups. Heading up the convenient back staircase leading to the upper level, guests will enjoy the privacy. The staircase leads to two bedrooms arranged in a Jack-and-Jill style one with three twin beds, the other with two each with their own sink and closet, and a shared bathroom with a shower and toilet. These rooms are perfect for teens or younger guests, offering plenty of space to spread out and relax.
Just beyond is a cozy media room complete with two plush couches, a flat screen TV, DVD player, board games, and a working desk making it a great spot for movie nights, game days, or even remote work. The upstairs hallway features shelves stocked with reading material and overlooks the main living area below, adding to the home's warm, inviting feel. A final upstairs bedroom offers a queen bed, flat screen TV, closet space, and its own ensuite bath with a unique walk-in shower lined with clear vintage-style tiles an elegant nod to old Tahoe craftsmanship.
