Lodge-Style Mountain Retreat with Forest Views & Modern Comforts Nestled in the heart of the Sierra, this one-owner, four-bedroom, 2.5-bath lodge-style home combines rustic charm with refined amenities. Boasting spectacular mountain and forest views from the upper level, this well-maintained property is ideally located near world-class outdoor recreation, including hiking, biking, cross-country trails, and skiing at Sierra-at-Tahoe, Heavenly, Kirkwood, and more. The home’s warm stained exterior, log accents inside and out, wrought iron fencing, and low-maintenance landscaping with aspens and Flame Maples create a private, colorful oasis—especially in the fall. The exterior has been recently restained, the driveway sealed, and a 75-gallon water heater installed around 2020. BMPs have been professionally maintained, and a drip system makes yard care a breeze. Step inside to a spacious great room with Brazilian Cherry wood floors, alder-wrapped windows and doors, and a stunning river rock gas fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. The open-concept kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including Bosch double ovens and dishwasher, a JennAir gas cooktop with grill, Maytag refrigerator, under-cabinet lighting, pull-outs in lower cabinets, a large island with breakfast bar, and even a writing desk for added function. Enjoy birdwatching or mountain vistas from the sunlit dining area with a picture window that invites the outdoors in. The generous primary suite offers ample storage with both standard and walk-in closets complete with organizers. The en-suite bathroom includes double sinks, a jetted tub, large tiled shower, and a private water closet. Other highlights include dual laundry rooms (upstairs and down), a family room with access to the backyard, three comfortable guest bedrooms, a full guest bath, and an oversized garage with an 8' door and 22’ depth—perfect for Tahoe gear and more. A Honeywell Smart Home thermostat provides modern convenience and peace of mind while you're away. This home offers a perfect balance of mountain lodge ambiance and thoughtful upgrades—ready for your next chapter in the Sierra.
