Updated Pet-Friendly Trailside Retreat

Welcome to your mountain getaway in Northstar, where modern updates and classic Tahoe charm come together to create the perfect retreat for families, couples, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Recently refreshed with new décor, updated furnishings, and a spacious sectional sofa, this inviting condo offers a comfortable home base for enjoying everything the Truckee-Tahoe region has to offer.

As you enter the home, you'll find both bedrooms conveniently located on the lower level, creating a quiet separation between the sleeping quarters and main living spaces. The primary bedroom features a comfortable king bed, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of adventure. The second bedroom is outfitted with a twin-over-full bunk bed, making it an ideal space for kids or additional guests. A smart TV in the bunk room provides the perfect spot for winding down with a movie after a day on the mountain. A full bathroom is also located on this level, offering convenience and easy access to both bedrooms.

Upstairs, the home opens into a bright and welcoming great room highlighted by soaring vaulted ceilings, large windows, and beautiful forest views. Natural light fills the space, while the impressive stone fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that embodies the spirit of a Tahoe mountain retreat.

The living room features a brand-new sectional sofa and smart TV, providing plenty of room for everyone to gather, watch a movie, share stories from the day's adventures, or simply relax by the fire. Thoughtful mountain-inspired décor throughout the home adds warmth and character while maintaining a fresh, updated feel. A second full bathroom on the upper level adds flexibility and convenience for guests.

Adjacent to the living room, the fully equipped kitchen offers everything needed to prepare meals during your stay. The open-concept design allows the kitchen, dining area, and living room to flow seamlessly together, making it easy to socialize while cooking, dining, or unwinding after a day outdoors.

Step outside onto the private patio, where you'll find a gas grill perfect for preparing dinner after a day of skiing, hiking, or exploring Lake Tahoe. Surrounded by the peaceful forest setting, it's a wonderful place to enjoy Tahoe's fresh mountain air.

Whether you're visiting for winter ski days, summer hikes, mountain biking adventures, or simply a peaceful escape in the pines, this thoughtfully updated condo provides the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and mountain charm.
