This charming two bedroom and two bath "Old Tahoe" cabin, lovingly maintained by the original owners since 1955, is in the highly sought after Cedar Flat subdivision of North Lake Tahoe. Large parcel enhances the peaceful mountain setting and is accented by older growth pine and fir trees. Miles of back-country trails are just moments away. The interior boasts a thoughtfully updated open layout with vaulted pine ceilings, exposed trusses, classic knotty pine paneling, and a cozy wood-burning stove, ideal for gatherings on chilly winter nights. Natural light floods the space, and a spacious south-facing deck maximizes outdoor enjoyment. The Homeowners Association includes a private beach with picnic tables, pier, and buoy access. A short drive to Tahoe City and Palisades Ski Resort.
