Positioned within the North Upper Truckee neighborhood and directly facing preserved state land, this extraordinary home presents immediate entry into endless scenic trails through Washoe Meadows State Park, leading down to the Upper Truckee River. For those who value authenticity in alpine living--peace, privacy, and boundless outdoor opportunity--this residence captures it all. ----Impeccable inside and out, the interior has been meticulously maintained and appears untouched since completion. The grounds showcase curated landscaping with verdant lawns in both front and rear, complemented by mature foliage, a quartzite patio with fire feature, and a storage shed. An expansive composite deck offers additional outdoor entertaining, enhanced by an electric awning and framed by majestic pines creating a natural buffer from neighboring properties. ----Designed with ground-level living, the layout prioritizes accessibility. Rich travertine and plush carpet span the lower level, where the living space glows with warm hues and a striking river rock fireplace and hearth. Distinctive knotty pine doors and window casings further elevate the home's mountain aesthetic. ----A radiant in-floor hydronic system delivers both heating efficiency and continuous hot water. Rare for the region, the oversized three-car garage provides room for vehicles, equipment, and workshop space. A full-home generator powered by natural gas ensures seamless functionality during outages. ----The kitchen showcases abundant custom cabinetry, slab granite counters with leathered texture and raw-edge detail, a peninsula for casual seating, and sleek stainless appliances. Upstairs, a sizable game room awaits with billiards table, bar area, darts and plenty of space for entertaining or relaxing. ----All bedrooms are located on the upper floor, including a refined primary retreat featuring a large walk-in wardrobe, jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and dual sink vanity. Each additional bath continues the thoughtful finishes found throughout. A whole-house ventilation system allows for quick temperature management during warmer months. ----A property of this caliber--rarely available and offering both refined comfort and a gateway to wilderness--represents a truly unique Tahoe offering.
