Morning’s first rays filter their way across the side patio while sunsets and stars take stage on the far side of this home, where a hot tub on the deck serves nicely as a port of call to enjoy the show. And in between the two is a living space whose expansive windows and sleekness project a radiant positivity. It’s possible such characteristics of this 3,750 square-foot home help explain why it’s won two awards for architectural integrity, one from Mountain Living Magazine and another from Tahoe Quarterly’s Mountain Home Awards. More impressive is the fact it also wins the hearts and souls of visitors and family, each finding their own preferred corner of paradise within this 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Lahontan Golf Club home. The attention to detail that runs the course of this home is evident immediately as you encounter a custom iron/wood staircase and walls of handsomely burnished Nakamoto Forestry Shou Sugi Ban woods. You arrive at a living space that glows from the luminance of an afternoon sun that’s captured in its peaked ceiling of light wood. The deftly placed Brendan Ravenhill lighting fixtures maintain that glow long after the sun has set while the Swiss-engineered whole house ventilation system from Zehnder independently seals, filters and purifies the air throughout. The kitchen features an expansive quartz counter and a pantry with its own prep kitchen. It overlooks the dining room and the great room, both with striking views to the west and access to a patio that’s perfectly suited to morning coffee and an afternoon gatherings. Heated floors run throughout, including the garage with its full-sized mechanic’s room and a third bay that can accommodate a Sprinter van. On this main level is an office, a bedroom, and the primary suite that holds spacious windows as well as the patio with a fire pit oriented toward the western horizon, while Gooseneck Lake and Camp Lahontan are both just a short stroll away. The upstairs landing reveals views of Lookout Mountain on Northstar California. To one side up here is a bunkroom while the other direction leads to a bedroom that’s been called the “Treetop Room” for obvious reasons. From street level, this home’s appeal is even more prominent as the blend of charcoal-colored wood and iron elegantly complements the handsome accents of blonde pine. The cherry on top is being just close enough to Camp Lahontan to enjoy all its amenities while being on a quiet cul-de-sac that’s removed enough to allow you to savor the peacefulness that defines the essence of the Lahontan community.
