Summary: Chinquapin 128 is a truly exceptional home. Furnished in a mountain-elegance style, it incorporates some tasteful antiques and photographic art pieces throughout and many special touches…from the entryway’s finest hand-scraped walnut plank floors, to the original Old Town canoe hanging overhead in the beamed ceiling of the living room. The Old Tahoe style you’ll love with all the modern conveniences you’re used to!
The Space: This large, lakefront end-unit has perhaps the best floor plan Chinquapin has to offer and delivers stunning panoramas of Tahoe from both levels. It’s the only rental unit in Chinquapin that has air conditioning for the hotter summer afternoons. You’ll find all the conveniences, including new beds and bedding in each bedroom for a cozy night’s rest, a kitchen that’s been completely remodeled to the highest standards using beautiful mirror-matched cherry woods throughout, a home theatre sound system and 65” Smart TV in the electric lift cabinet upstairs, and a TV/DVD in the Master bedroom as well. High-speed Wi-Fi throughout, of course.
The dining room is the “heart” of the house for any group, with plenty of seating for all on two beautiful antique pine benches on either side of an 8-foot rustic dining table and wrought iron candelabra overhead.
The upstairs bedroom off the dining area has a queen bed and is decorated in classic Adirondack “camp” style. In the suite is a private full-size bathroom making this a second master.
Downstairs are two more bedrooms, another full size bath and the master bedroom with its own bath, sauna and lakefront glassed-in deck. The laundry is also on this level.
The Neighborhood: Chinquapin is 95-wooded acres along a mile of Lake Tahoe’s pristine shoreline. Secluded coves, sandy beaches, towering evergreens, and natural wildflowers reflect in the crystal clarity of Lake Tahoe, creating one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights. Chinquapin's amenities include saunas, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce ball courts, a mile-long lakefront path, two piers, and more.
Getting Around: Chinquapin is about a five minute drive to Tahoe City (three miles), and 10-15 minutes away from Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, and Northstar ski areas.
