This rarely available end-unit in The Villas offers a serene forest backdrop, incredible location within the complex, and extensive upgrades throughout. Owned by the same family since it was built in 1971 and never rented, this 3 bed / 2 bath home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years. Recent upgrades include a brand-new tankless hot water heater, all new dual- pane windows (including an oversized 7\' x 6\' dining room window unique to this unit), new hardwood flooring and carpet, and a renovated full bathroom on the landing level. Other enhancements include a new stacked washer/dryer, solid wood doors, updated lighting, re-routed ductwork for improved heating efficiency, and upgraded insulation throughout. The Villas is a well-maintained complex with a major renovation completed in 2014, including new siding, roofs, windows, and decks. HOA amenities include a seasonal heated pool, two saunas, tennis and pickleball courts, a small clubhouse with fitness equipment and games, plus extra seasonal storage for boats, RVs, kayaks, and paddleboards. All of this is just a 10-minute bike ride to Tahoe City, right around the corner from Skylandia Beach, and two minutes to Tahoe Cross Country and Burton Creek State Park, offering miles of trails for hiking, biking, and Nordic skiing. This turn-key mountain retreat blends pride of ownership, location, and lifestyle, come experience Tahoe at its best. Visit VILLAS46.COM to watch the property video!
