3252 Panorama Drive South Lake Tahoe CA 96150 MLS #140512

Capturing the essence of true mountain living, this completely renovated residence backs to miles of National Forest while enjoying views of Echo Summit through towering pines. The low maintenance exterior is clad in fiber-cement siding and the home enjoys 2 massive decks, including a rear redwood deck, built in and around granite boulders and pine trees. Tastefully refashioned from the studs out, the interior begins in a large mud room with peky cedar wainscoting, stamped and stained concrete floors and plenty of room for wet ski clothes. Classic open beam ceilings with tongue and groove pine warm the inviting and functional downstairs living area that opens to the dining room and kitchen. Maintaining the home’s rustic charm, the kitchen is adorned in hickory cabinetry and features a generous central island with elevated bar top and slab granite counters. The lower floor finishes with a primary suite, dressed in cozy decor and 2 well-appointed full baths. The upper floor is awash in natural light from 4 skylights and gable end windows that frame the adjacent forest. The steep roof pitch provides dramatic vaulted ceilings and a ski chalet feel with more exposed beams and a substantial bedroom with ample closet space. The 3rd bedroom doubles as an excellent office space and allows immediate access to 450-sf rooftop deck above the garage. All 3 bathrooms enjoy low volt in-floor heat and the property comes equipped with A/C and is pre-wired for a back up generator. Beyond the 2-car garage, there is room for tons of storage underneath the house. Furnishings and decor are negotiable.
