Freshly updated and ready for its next chapter, this home features a brand-new roof (2026) and a crisp interior featuring modern lighting and new ceiling fans throughout. The layout flows effortlessly and includes the added convenience of an attached one-car garage. Outside, the fully fenced backyard provides a private sanctuary for summer BBQs or simply soaking up the alpine air. Location is everything here. You're just moments away from the sandy shores of Lake Tahoe and the vibrant local dining scene. Whether you're heading out for a sunset dinner or spending the day by the water, everything that makes this area iconic is right at your doorstep. This is the perfect home base for those who want to live where they play.
Lake Tahoe, located between Donner Lake and the Nevada state line, is a lakeside and mountain Truckee neighborhood with granite shorelines and pine-scented trails. The character concentrates around the Northstar Drive and CA-267 junction, where ski-day traffic, gear shops, and après patios set a brisk, outdoors-first tempo. Architectural cues lean to timber-and-stone cabins and contemporary mountain homes with deep eaves and big window walls. Northstar California Resort anchors the calendar with lifts, a village plaza, and seasonal events. The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe and Alibi Ale Works at Truckee Public House act as social landmarks for dining and local pours. Between beaches, trailheads, and winter access, daily life tracks the weather and the water.
