About this property
Private backyard access to Forest Service land, beautiful, family friendly, hottub, garage
Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac and backing directly onto Forest Service trails, Granite Getaway is a nature lover's dream. This elegant, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath mountain home provides an inviting space for families and friends to gather and enjoy Tahoe's scenic beauty. The open floor plan, tastefully designed interiors, and vaulted ceilings create a warm, airy ambiance that's perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Perfect for both family getaways and friendly gatherings, this inviting home allows you to experience Lake Tahoe's year-round magic.
The main level features a spacious living room with soaring ceilings and plenty of natural light, flowing into a gourmet kitchen that's equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals. An ample dining room table that is perfect for gathering together after a day of outdoor adventures. Also on this level, you'll find a serene king bedroom with a private half-bath.
Just a few steps up, the cozy entertainment room offers a separate area for gaming, movie nights, or unwinding with a favorite TV show (streaming only). A laundry room is also conveniently located on this level. Off the entertainment space is a hallway leading to two queen bedrooms that share a beautifully tiled bathroom. At the end of the hallway, the primary king bedroom awaits, complete with a luxurious private bathroom featuring heated tiled floors, a walk-in shower, and a deep soaking tub.
Step outside to the inviting back patio, where you'll find a BBQ grill, outdoor furniture (available in summer), and a hot tub, perfect for gathering under the stars. With direct access to hiking and biking trails, this home seamlessly blends indoor comfort with outdoor adventure. Parking is made easy with a two-car garage and space for two more cars on the short, steep driveway.
In summer, Granite Getaway becomes the perfect base for exploring Tahoe's scenic outdoor wonders. Step right outside to discover direct access to trails for hiking and biking, ideal for adventurers looking to explore the lush forests and mountain vistas. After a day of outdoor fun, unwind on the back patio with a BBQ meal on the grill, enjoying the outdoor seating under the warm evening sun.
In winter, Granite Getaway transforms into a cozy retreat where you can warm up after a day on the slopes. With popular ski resorts nearby like Palisades Tahoe and Northstar, this home provides a perfect setting for skiing, snowboarding, and winter adventures. Afterward, relax in the hot tub while surrounded by the serene beauty of the snow-covered landscape, or gather in the entertainment room for movie nights, gaming, or simply cozying up with a good book.
Private, peaceful, and nature-inspired, this splendid home provides a one-of-a-kind connection to the outdoors.
