Space
Surrounded by trees in a tranquil setting, this charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom A-frame home offers a quintessential mountain retreat in Tahoe. The home boasts soaring windows, filling the rooms with natural light and views overlooking the surrounding trees. Your group will enjoy returning to the home after a busy day of adventures where you will find a spacious main living area for socializing, cozy bedrooms, and a private outdoor space. Enter the home off of the spacious front porch and arrive at a charming front hallway/mudroom. This space includes a bench, coat hooks, and a storage closet, providing a comfortable spot to unload your outdoor gear before settling into the home. Step into the bright and inviting home where the living room/dining/kitchen seamlessly blends in an open layout. This room is filled with natural light from the soaring windows and high ceilings, with 2 ceiling fans keeping it nice and cool in the warm summer months. The living room is set up for relaxing and socializing, with a plush L-shaped sectional and an oversized chair situated around an electric fireplace. The fireplace sits in a lovely cobblestone hearth, adding extra charm to the room! Relax in the living room while watching the falling snow out the large windows, or enjoy a movie night on the 55” TV that includes a sound bar and a Roku. Behind the living room sofa is the dining area, where you will find a large dining table with seating for 6. Adjacent to this space is the fully equipped kitchen, where you will have everything you need to cook a great meal with your friends and family. The kitchen features a full range of appliances, roomy countertops, and a kitchen bar with 4 bar stools providing additional seating space. When you are ready to settle in for the night, you will find three thoughtfully designed bedrooms offering a unique blend of functionality and style. The first two bedrooms are located downstairs in the hallway off of the kitchen. The first bedroom packs an efficient punch into the space with 4 twin beds that include a twin-over-twin bunk bed, and a twin bed with a trundle twin. The second bedroom is a well-decorated space with a queen-size bed, matching nightstands with lamps, a spacious closet, and a dresser. Near the two bedrooms, you will find the main level full bathroom, an updated space with a single-sink vanity and a spacious shower with a sliding glass door. Rounding out the main level is a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer comfortably located near the bedrooms and bathroom. Head up the stairs where you will first come to a cozy loft area, a versatile space perfect for movie nights, game sessions, or additional sleeping arrangements. The loft features two futons that effortlessly transform into full-size beds, a TV, and an array of movies and games for your entertainment. From the loft, you are steps away from the master suite, a beautiful room with cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams, skylights, and large windows with views over the surrounding trees. Equipped with a queen-size bed, a dedicated workspace featuring an L-shaped desk and monitor, ample storage including built-in drawers, and a closet, the master suite ensures a restful stay. The master bathroom is similar to the main level bathroom, with an updated single-sink vanity and a shower with a sliding glass door. In the summer months, you will love utilizing the front deck and the private backyard. Sit outside at the outdoor table and prepare a meal on the BBQ to dine al fresco. Or sit in the backyard under the starry night sky. The partially fenced backyard is perfect for those traveling with children, giving them an additional space to run and play while you relax under the trees.

Neighborhood
You are going to love the location of this charming Tahoe home! Located just a half-mile from Secline Beach, you can easily walk down to this pet-friendly beach and enjoy the volleyball courts and BBQ areas. Or head over to King’s Beach, less than a mile from the house, and spend the day on the big sandy beaches where you will find every variety of watercraft available to rent for some water fun! This funky little beach town area has plenty of entertainment and dining options for you to enjoy with a wide variety of restaurants to dine at, cute boutiques, a farmer's market for shopping, and free concerts that happen in the summer.
