About This Property
Where the street ends, a quieter kind of adventure begins. This thoughtfully designed Tahoma home offers lightly traveled, non-trailhead access to exceptional backcountry and Desolation Wilderness beyond—without the parked cars and activity associated with a formal recreation hub. Enter through a spacious mudroom with laundry, gear storage, and utility sink before continuing to the main living level, complete with a bedroom and bathroom. Abundant windows frame the forest, fill the interiors with natural light, and open to welcome refreshing mountain airflow; thoughtfully placed interior windows carry that light throughout the home. A high-ceilinged office provides an inspiring workspace, while the living and dining areas offer flexible use. French doors lead to a newer, spacious deck overlooking the private, forested backyard on an approximately one-third-acre parcel. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features a walk-in closet, skylight, and large soaking tub. A lower guest suite is complemented by extensive storage and workshop space for outdoor gear, creative pursuits, and future hobbies. Multiple backyard access points and ample off-street parking complete this exceptionally functional Tahoe retreat.
