Property Description:

This is an absolutely incredible home that was just built a year ago.  It sits on a flat county parcel in the North Upper Truckee neighborhood with an unbuildable, forestry owned parcel right across the street and great neighbors.  The home is over 3,600 sqft with 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a 3 car garage and endless amenities that include custom Alder cabinetry throughout, central vacuum, pre-wired sound system, A/C, steam shower and tons more.  For South Lake Tahoe Real Estate, even in this slumping economy, this is an absolute steal at $200/sf.  The exterior is wrapped entirely with cedar siding and natural granite wainscoting that includes the garage surround.  The home has great curb appeal with a gigantic wide appearance and massive hand peeled log columns that lead you through a giant 8′ entry door.  The exterior of the home is fenced and completely landscaped with automatic sprinklers on everything.  The home was an easy candidate for million dollar plus value a couple of years back and hopefully again in the near future.
Offered at $723,000

North Upper Truckee Neighborhood Profile

December 12, 2008

deck_viewsm.jpgThis is a fairly easy neighborhood to write about, because my family and I happen to live here.  We’ve actually built a couple of homes for ourselves off of North Upper Truckee for a variety of reasons.  For one, this area is Tahoe to us.  The entire area is nestled up against Echo Summit & Angora Ridge and also close to the Truckee River, which offers endless recreation for those nearby.  My two beautiful daughters can hit a trail on their bikes, cross country skis or snowmobiles right down the street.  Of course we see a bit more snowfall out here, but it never poses a major problem.  All you need is a decent snow blower and 4-wheel drive and you’re fine.  In fact, a much higher percentage of locals live in this area, which leads me to another important reason for living in this area.

I don’t want my kids to grow up in an area surrounded by vacation homes.  They need other families around them to enjoy their day to day activities with.  One big draw to this area for families is the elementary school nearby; The Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School.  Currently, this school is the highest ranking school in both academics and attendance in the school district.  To learn more about our local schools, visit http://www.ltusd.org/

Most of the people living in this area are blue collar workers, such as teachers, firefighters, contractors and more.  They take pride in their homes and their families and it shows.  When compared with the rest of South Lake Tahoe real estate, homes in NUT have always ranked well in median home values.  It’s never the highest in value, because of it’s distance to tourist amenities like the lake and casinos, but it’s not always about ROI, it’s about a lifestyle choice.  Please, come see for yourselves.
