About This Property
Situated at the end of a quiet street in the storybook Cedar Flat neighborhood, Serenity Chateau is a rare legacy property where Lake Tahoe’s rich history and natural beauty come together in a timeless retreat. Originally built in the 1930s and lovingly expanded over the decades, this spacious home offers boastful vintage Hollywood charm, handcrafted European stonework, and private HOA beach access. The interior offers a blend of old-world craftsmanship and classic mountain lodge comfort. Vaulted wood ceilings soar above a great room anchored by a grand stone fireplace, built by hand from stones gathered on the property. Historic chandeliers from Oakland’s Elks Lodge cast a warm glow, while original Hollywood tilework from film set days brings character to the main bath. The open-concept kitchen, spacious library, and generous loft/game room create inviting spaces for gatherings of all sizes, from special holidays to cozy weekends by the fire. Outside, over 2,000 square feet of wraparound decking overlooks a seasonal creek and waterfall that flows beneath the home. Enjoy ultimate privacy and nature immersion on a .53-acre lot with direct trail access and plenty of parking. The property is located in the historic Cedar Flat HOA, offering two private beaches, pier, swim area, picnic grounds, and lottery buoy field. Whether it’s summer days spent boating to Tahoe City or winter evenings by the hearth, Serenity Chateau has been the cherished heart of one family for nearly 60 years.
