About This Property

Calling all West Shore enthusiasts and pickle ballers! This Pineland chalet delivers the Tahoe lifestyle in a location that’s hard to beat—set in a greenbelt park setting that literally backs to Kilner Park, with pickleball, tennis and recreation just beyond the backyard. Hop on the bike path for quick and easy access to Sunnyside, Hurricane Bay, Shadyside Lounge, Fire Sign Café and all the favorites that make the West Shore so special. The inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath chalet blends classic Tahoe character with thoughtful updates, including remodeled kitchen and baths, new flooring, granite countertops and updated cabinetry. At the heart of the home, a dramatic river-rock gas fireplace anchors the great room, while the loft above adds that quintessential mountain-cabin feel. The main level offers one bedroom and a bath, with an additional two bedrooms, bath and loft upstairs. A newer wraparound deck extends the living outdoors, while a charming covered bridge connects the chalet to a substantial addition featuring an oversized two-car garage with a spacious studio above—ideal for guests, a home office, overflow sleeping or added rental flexibility! (approximately 460 SF) With the property located in Placer County, the combination offers intriguing rental potential for buyers looking to maximize their Tahoe getaway. Outside, the large, level and sunny lot offers something increasingly rare on the West Shore: room to breathe and plenty of parking. A circular driveway, two-car garage, level back yard for lounging, small fenced area for pets, and a huge storage shed provide space for all the Tahoe toys. Offered mostly furnished and ready for immediate enjoyment, this is an easygoing West Shore retreat with personality, flexibility and one seriously fun backyard.

MLS closed sales, with duplicate ingestions collapsed and lease records excluded, so each row is a distinct transaction. Rows marked county record come from the assessor's deed data, which reaches back further than the MLS feed; rows marked via a listing site fill the years the feed misses using that site's public sale record.
