This serene, south-facing home sits on a quiet street in a desirable section of Tahoe Donner with easy access to Alder Creek Road and 89N. With a short, flat driveway and a wall of alder in front, the home is situated for privacy and optimal lighting. A large deck with peek mountain views offers easy entertaining and, just off the primary suite, another deck provides an intimate setting for your morning coffee. Just out the back and adjacent to the property line you'll find the Tahoe Donner East Perimeter Trail and--for forever privacy--the magnificent Tahoe National Forest. On the main level a wall of windows brings the forest inside to welcome family and friends. The living areas have luxurious hickory flooring. The spacious updated kitchen features granite slab countertops, plentiful cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and bar seating for easy cooking and conversation, plus new black stainless appliances and dramatic LED up- and down-lighting. The main floor also includes a home office and a full bath. One-half level down, a large game/TV room with included pool table has a closet that can make it a fourth bedroom, perfect for bunk beds and kids' toys. Two good-sized bedrooms, an expansive primary suite, and two elegant bathrooms complete the lower level. And don't forget to check out the bottom level: The 1,200+/- square foot room has its own entrance, framed windows with electric and plumbing stubbed in, and architectural plans for a living area, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, plus space for a kitchen. (Could be an in-law unit or accessory dwelling unit.)
