Architectural Beauty with Views, Steps to The Lake and Piers

This stunning architectural achievement offers luxury, refinement and beauty. Views are sensational year round. Experience unobstructed Donner Lake views, tranquility and spaciousness. Ceilings are 25' high, constructed of solid wood beams and soaring with light from every window. Light passes from room to room through glass walls, an architectural design feature called 'borrowed light.' The beautiful, reclaimed hardwood and Sierra slate flooring are heated for your comfort. The practical kitchen is well equipped and offers stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Throughout you will find comfortably furnished rooms with clean lined, quality pieces. The house provides easy access to the lake, directly across the street from public piers.


The upper level has three comfortable, private bedrooms plus a loft with two twin-sized futons. The primary bedroom has a spacious, adjoining bathroom with jetted tub, glass shower and double sinks, crafted of hammered nickel. The other two bedrooms, named Creekside and Lakeside, have a queen size bed in each. Both share a bathroom on the upper level. Linens and towels are provided, plus soap and shampoo.


The lower level offers a clutter-free, wide open floor plan for gathering as well as quiet seating for reading or conversation. The Great Room has a large, Italian leather, sectional couch from which to relax in front of the fireplace. The side office has a work desk and small couches with views to the side yard. Open the windows to hear the creek. Lighting over the dining table is dimmable so you can choose your mood, low light for romantic dinners or a brighter light for board games.


The wraparound front porch offers a prime vantage point for watching the lake and relaxing. Perfect for quiet reading, enjoying a libation and sharing conversations. There are four Tropitone lounge chairs on the porch and a picnic table on the lower patio.

The location is ideal, offering easy access to outdoor adventures, restaurants and amenities. Just steps outside the door takes you to Donner Lake where you can walk, ride or run the 7 mile loop around the lake. In the summer, enjoy the local West End beach which offers water sport rentals, boat launching, volleyball, horseshoes, fishing, swimmers beach, ping pong, BBQ pits, and children's playground. The ever popular Little Truckee Ice Creamery is an easy few minutes walk away, perfect for an evening stroll after dinner or morning coffee and homemade pastries (opens at 7am in summer). Donner Memorial State Park, down the road, offers flat, paved trails around the lake with fabulous views. The Truckee River Legacy Trail for biking, walking and running is close by as is an abundance of outdoor hiking and biking trails. The location is ten minutes from Sugar Bowl Ski Resort and Donner Summit. Royal Gorge's XCountry resort, Palisades, Alpine, and Northstar Ski Resorts are all a short drive. Lake Tahoe is thirteen miles away along a scenic route. Downtown Truckee is a ten minute drive and where you will find shopping, restaurants and Western history.
