Zen Luxury at Lake Tahoe
Photo Tour
Designed to be in harmony with Lake Tahoe and the majestic Sierra Mountains, this elegant, spacious, and cozy 5 bedroom and 6 bathroom retreat projects a sense of peace and tranquility seldom found in a mountain getaway. The current owners demanded a home as art, retaining the well-known architecture and construction team of Eckstein Bouck Associates. This rare James Morton home was stripped to the studs in 2008 and transformed into an elegant masterpiece, including open living spaces, expansive windows capturing stunning lake and mountain views, three custom fireplaces, a family room with wetbar, exercise room, and outdoor spa. The original Old Growth Redwood paneling and beams were preserved and incorporated into the new design, including an expansive great room reminiscent of Tahoe’s early Lodge days. Contemporary features include Lutron customizable lighting system, in-floor radiant heating, air conditioning, Ann Sacks tiling, travertine flooring, and custom cast stone countertops throughout the bathrooms, kitchen, and two laundry rooms. Step outside the great room onto the expansive upper and lower Trex decks, featuring overhead heaters, fire pit, surround sound, and outdoor kitchen, all ensuring that your lake view entertaining will linger happily for hours. The custom iron-fenced and expertly landscaped property includes two large parcels with charming paths that meander through lush grounds. Children and adults will love the short jaunt to sandy Dollar Point Beach, the deep water pier, tennis courts, and summer pool.
Truly a spectacular Lake Tahoe home for memories and generations to come.
