Front and center at the water's edge with meadow-to-lake views in wide angle, the large floor plan features 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 baths in a life-at-the-top arrangement that maximizes the view. Upstairs there’s an updated kitchen, a master bedroom with en-suite bath; and throughout there are new interior doors and flooring, keyless entry, a Nest thermostat, and furnishings by Restoration Hardware. It’s a rustico-modern design in the best Tahoe tradition. At the south end of the Tahoe Tavern, #12 stands near the end of the path circumnavigating the property. Visitors who pass through the viewscape from your decks of the Lake and the whole of the East shore are few, and mostly neighbors. The large grassy area with its half-moon stone seat is large enough for enthusiastic group play. The stacked decks double your enjoyment from both bedrooms on the lower level and the Great room on the upper level. The view is the focus whether you’re preparing a repast or a drink in the kitchen area, partaking at the family-long table, or relaxing on the leather furniture with one eye on the roaring fire. The living-upstairs arrangement heightens the length and breadth of the view for most of the day; and the substantial grill and table on the upper deck allows you to dine al fresco at the slightest whim. The Master bedroom, too, is on the living level, so when there’s just the two of you, everything is close at hand. When that company for which you’ve planned so well does arrive, they’ll have use of the second and third bedrooms, both very comfortable, nicely-appointed, and sharing the view from the lower deck. There’s also a well-separated bunkroom of substance, with its own bath, for up to four more. And, all those prized visitors are comfortably on the lower level. From the lower deck, it’s just a few steps down to the splendid grass carpet to the Lake shore. There is abundant space beneath that deck where under kayaks, paddleboards, and other large play items can be stored. The path that circumnavigates the Tavern leads to the north to the panoramic lakefront pool, the tennis and pickle ball courts, the buoy field, the longest pier on the Lake and beyond to nearby Tahoe City with its many restaurants. A turn to the south is a short walk to Tahoe House for that morning croissant. The skiing and snowshoeing couldn’t be better at the many ski resorts nearby. No matter the season, Life-at-the-Top is endlessly rewarding!
