Property description
Perched at the peaceful end of a quiet street, this classic Tahoe-style retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, outstanding views, and convenient access to four-season adventure. With sweeping vistas of Martis Valley and the distant mountains, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home captures the essence of mountain living. Many large windows bring in radiant natural light and frame stunning views from nearly every room in the house. Just a few gentle steps from the driveway to the front door make coming and going a breeze, whether you're unloading gear or welcoming guests. The main level offers an open-concept layout that flows seamlessly from the kitchen to the dining and living areas, designed for both comfort and connection. A river rock fireplace adds warmth and charm on cool evenings, while a convenient half bath on this level is ideal for entertaining. Step out onto the expansive deck to enjoy a drink, pick up your binoculars to watch and listen to the birds, and soak in the sunset. With the Tompkins Memorial Trails just steps from the back deck, you’re instantly connected to miles of scenic trails through the meadow. The primary suite offers serene views and an ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms accommodate guests or family with ease. The level lot not only ensures easy year-round access but also provides usable outdoor space. Residents enjoy full access to the Northstar Property Owners Association, which offers an impressive array of amenities: multiple pools including a heated lap pool and splash pool, hot tubs, a well-equipped fitness center, clubhouse, tennis courts, pickleball, and bocce ball and holiday parties. It’s a vibrant community hub that adds value and lifestyle perks all year long. Adventure is just minutes away, whether it’s carving fresh tracks at Northstar Resort, biking along scenic trails, or teeing off at the Northstar golf course. This home truly serves as a launch pad for everything Lake Tahoe has to offer, blending comfort, convenience, and connection to the outdoors. Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, vacation getaway, or rental investment, this mountain home delivers timeless Tahoe character with all the modern amenities to support an adventurous and balanced lifestyle.
