About this home

Nestled in the picturesque Sierra Foothills, a charming home in Cascade Shores offers the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. Just minutes from Scotts Flat Lake, this residence provides easy access to swimming, boating, fishing, and paddle boarding.

Inside, the spacious living area welcomes you with high ceilings and the cozy warmth of a wood-burning stove. This inviting space serves as the heart of the home, where family and friends gather to share stories and create memories. Multiple sliding doors connect the indoors with the outdoors, leading to an expansive wrap-around deck. Here, you can enjoy the fresh mountain air, surrounded by towering trees and soothing nature sounds. The main level features two bedrooms and a full bathroom, offering ample space for guests or family members. Upstairs, the primary bedroom provides a private sanctuary with an ensuite bath for added luxury. A charming loft area adjacent to the primary bedroom offers versatile space, ideal for a home office, reading nook, or creative studio. This enchanting home in the Sierra Foothills is more than just a residence; it's a gateway to a lifestyle filled with natural beauty and outdoor fun!
