About This Property

This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is tucked away in a peaceful South Lake Tahoe neighborhood and backs to hundreds of acres of US Forest Service land. From your own backyard, enjoy gorgeous mountain views and direct access to a trail system that winds through towering pines and leads all the way to Montgomery Estates. It's perfect for hiking, snowshoeing, or simply soaking up the serenity of the Sierra. Inside, the home blends thoughtful updates with warm, mountain charm. Fresh interior paint brightens each room, and the new carpeting, along with wood and tile flooring, provides a comfortable and stylish foundation throughout. The heart of the home is a spacious living room, where soaring ceilings and tall windows welcome in natural light and forest views, creating a true sense of connection to the outdoors. A cozy gas fireplace anchors the space, making it ideal for relaxing after a day on the slopes or gathering with friends and family. The living room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, creating an open-concept layout that works beautifully for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features a new sink, freshly lined cabinets, ample counter space, and a practical layout. A door off the living room leads to a newly rebuilt deck that looks out onto open forest, and a separate dining room provides additional space for hosting.The home's layout includes four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, offering flexibility for guests, remote work, or multi-generational living. The primary suite is a standout, offering a large walk-in closet, an oversized ensuite bathroom, and direct access to a private backyard deck. Upstairs, a large additional living area provides a flexible space with a built-in desk that can easily be used as a bonus room, home office, or playroom. The attached two-car garage offers a lofted storage area, and there's a backyard storage shed for even more room to stash your Tahoe gear. Additional improvements include upgraded mechanical systems such as a new wall heater, furnace, water heater, exterior motion lighting, and thermostat, as well as new interior hardware throughout the home. The exterior has been freshly repainted, and all decks have been rebuilt for long-term durability. Sprinklers in both the front and back yards make for easy lawn maintenance, and the fully fenced backyard offers a secure area for pets or children to play while still feeling wide open to nature. Just minutes from Heavenly Ski Resort, Lake Tahoe, and great schools, this home offers a rare mix of comfort, convenience, and adventure. Local dining favorites like the Riva Grill are just a short drive away, as well as shops, marinas, and more! Whether you're looking for a primary residence or a mountain retreat, you'll love the peaceful setting, upgraded features, and direct forest access this property provides.
