About this property

Mountain Home Minutes to Tahoe & Northstar

This is the kind of Truckee home where you can settle in, unpack your gear, and immediately feel at ease.

This private, park like setting is located in the Glenshire neighborhood, you’re just steps from the Glenshire General Store, The Shire Fitness Center (with daily Pilates and yoga), and Glenshire Pizza Company. It’s an easy bike ride around Glenshire Lake or along the Legacy Trail— five miles of riverfront trail to historic downtown Truckee—home to local shops, galleries, bars, and Commercial Row charm.

The nearby Truckee River offers great fly fishing and summer recreation. In the winter, Northstar is 10-15 minutes away and Palisades Tahoe is 15-25 minutes. On days you don’t feel like heading to the slopes, the hill behind the Glenshire General Store is a fun local sledding spot for kids.

Inside, the home is spacious and thoughtfully laid out. Downstairs features open-concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces that make it easy to cook, gather, and relax together. There’s also a separate, private office if you need to work remotely.

The downstairs primary suite includes a steam shower and a deep soaking tub, creating a spa like space to unwind. There’s a king size bed with a remote controlled gas fireplace and wall mounted TV as well as sliding door to wander the gardens.

Upstairs, you’ll find a large game room with a big TV, sound system, and wet bar —perfect for movie nights or hanging out after a day outside. The upstairs bedrooms have queen size Beautyrest pillow top mattresses, an en-suite bathroom in the bedroom overlooking the back lawn and a built in desk in the other bedroom. The family room also has a queen bed and large closet.

Practical details make mountain living easy here. There’s an enormous mudroom with laundry just off the garage. Outside, the generous patio and lawn offer space for summer games, and the gas fire pit is perfect for relaxing evenings under the stars.

Please note: The owners do not allow animals due to pre-existing allergy conditions for management and guests.

Whether you’re here for skiing, river days, biking into town, or simply enjoying the slower pace of mountain life, this home makes it easy to settle in and enjoy Truckee the way locals do.
