Located uniquely on a spectacular ridge overlooking the crest of the Sierras and the Truckee River, this 1.8 acre site sits conveniently close to town and yet is extremely private! Ideally perched above the Truckee River and Truckee, every room in the home offers 180 degree views through expansive windows, a unique indoor to outdoor style that also provides scenic and private decks, cozy yet open spaces, and lots of sun. You won’t feel like leaving the comfort of home, and a home office is ready just in case. Special architectural features (created by Tim Ward, award winning local architect) center set around the easy to use stairwell, stone clad great room gathering areas with vaulted ceilings, all day filtered light that drifts in through several skylights, treetop vistas right out your window as you prepare dinner in the stunning remodeled kitchen or dine in my favorite sun room area. This 4 bedroom home can be purchased with most items as a turn key property. Sleep 8-10 with full bathrooms located on each floor. Easy to maintain, even from a distance, this home has air conditioning provided for the summer; and a full forced air heat system that is augmented by two gas stoves that provide lovely ambiance and great warmth in winter. One fireplace heats the master on frosty mornings. After a hike or long day skiing, stay at home and be pampered to a spa experience. Private decking off the master bedroom and tucked into the hillside offers the scenic spa area. A secluded hot tub tucked into the deck area includes a convenient outdoor shower. Inside enjoy a full-size steam shower in the remodeled his and hers master bath. Or soak in the antique claw footed tub and enjoy tranquil views from the corner window. The living areas and decks offer fantastic sunsets and far reaching views of the Sierras. The trivia minded buyer will love that the deck is flanked with a touch of history: a railing that was once the brass bar footrest from the historic CalNeva Lodge where the famed Rat-Pack and Marilyn Monroe bellied up the bar. Located near Historic Downtown Truckee on a dead-end street in close proximity to Forest Service Land, this home is so private yet so close, it provides that ideal "location, location, location" for the most discriminating buyer.
