Set in one of Tahoe Paradise's quieter pockets, this forest-backed chalet offers exceptional privacy on a .27-acre parcel adjoining National Forest land. Extensive redwood decking creates a natural extension of the home, with multiple places to gather, relax and take in the surrounding pines.Inside, classic Tahoe architecture is paired with recent updates, including fresh interior paint, luxury vinyl plank flooring, new baseboards, updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, new door hardware and a fully remodeled downstairs bathroom. The 2-story great room features exposed beams, tongue-and-groove pine ceilings and dramatic cathedral windows framing the forest beyond.The main level offers an open living and dining area, maple cabinetry, upgraded appliances and flexibility for future kitchen expansion or reconfiguration. Upstairs, the loft has been used as a 4th sleeping area, game room or additional lounge.A detached 2-car garage connects to the home by a broad deck that doubles as one of the property's best entertaining spaces. The landscaped front yard transitions to a more natural rear setting, with a fenced dog run occupying only a portion of the backyard. Additional highlights include a metal roof, recently stained redwood siding and excellent garage storage.
