The expansive 3.16-acre lot is a rare find, with the added bonus of backing up to 11 acres of open space. This property is a true gem for those seeking the ultimate in solitude while still close to everything. Recently repainted interior and remodeled in 2013, the attention to detail is everywhere. This home was custom designed for mountain living from the individual storage cubbies designated for seasonal outdoor sports in the mudroom as you enter the home from the garage, to the kitchen with custom cabinets, gas range and Zephyr hood, center island positioned to allow the cook to enjoy the views, walk in pantry and expanded granite countertop with built in beverage cooler. The open floorplan allows you to soak in the panoramic views from all the main living areas. The primary bedroom is on the main floor with a spa-like bathroom and antique clawfoot bathtub situated to take in the views, oversized shower with rainfall shower head and walk-in closet. Main level also has a bonus office/den. Downstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms, 2 full baths with custom cabinets, a dedicated home office and a spacious living room with another fireplace. Every room shows quality construction and design from solid Alder doors and Emtek hardware to Newport Brass bath fixtures and artisan glass lighting. Outside you find plenty of space to roam, enjoy the wrap around deck for outdoor entertaining or sitting quietly to take in the forest air and babbling seasonal creek. During winter storms, you'll have the sensation of being in your own personal snow globe. Easy access to miles of hiking and biking trails from your doorstep, world class skiing and golfing, and less than 30 minutes to Reno Tahoe international airport or Lake Tahoe.
