One step into this Martis Camp home and your sights are already set on what’s beyond, toward a backyard that’s the envy of all architectural centerfolds. There, at eye level to the cropped fairway of the Putting Park’s 13th hole, you find yourself in a patio setting of mystical landscaping and summer sunsets appearing through filtered pines. There’s a firepit, hot tub and covered dining cove just steps from the bridge that straddles the backyard creek whose gentle ramble further softens the scene. Inside this 3,246-square-foot, 4-bed/3.5-bath home, elegance takes shape in a casually modern form. Left of the impressive entry is a primary suite wing with corner fireplace and immediate access to the back patio. The kitchen with its crescent-shaped counter that seats five provides a social hub that oversees the great room, dining room, and the ever-present allure of the patio. Upstairs is a media room with a huge television and a deck overlooking the Putting Park fairway across the bridge. There are three other bedrooms here, including a light and airy bunk room and one bedroom with its own deck and fireplace. Other than having immediate access to the Putting Park, this home is also a short stroll from the Park Pavilion. Perhaps the cherry to this offering is the availability of a golf membership for those drawn to the Tom Fazio-designed 18 hole championship course, one of just several attributes of Martis Camp that explains why Barron’s proclaims that “Martis Camp is the “Best Place to Own a Second Home in Tahoe.”
