About This Property

This is the epitome of a cozy cabin in the mountains! Set in the beloved neighborhood of Al Tahoe, on a dead-end street, it's just a short three block stroll to reach the shores of Lake Tahoe. This one bedroom, two bathroom home is set back on the lot which offers privacy from the street and has a large level yard to spend summer days in. With downstairs living, the space is warm and inviting with knotty pine walls and an efficient gas fireplace. Upstairs hosts the bedroom, bathroom and a deck out over the yard. Al Tahoe is centrally located with easy access to the bike path, restaurants and shops and just minutes to world-class skiing and all that South Shore has to offer!

TRPA caps how much of each Tahoe Basin parcel can be covered by impervious surfaces — buildings, driveways, decks. Estimated coverage — data: TRPA GIS / Tahoe Open Data. The only authoritative determination of coverage and land capability is a Land Capability Verification through TRPA; actual allowable coverage can differ due to verifications, transfers, banked coverage, or deed restrictions.
