The wrought iron gate slowly swings open between stately stone pillars to reveal this 2018 Mountain Home Award winner, nestled comfortably amidst manicured grounds and towering pines on the historic west shore of Lake Tahoe. Located in one of Lake Tahoe’s most desirable coves known for its calm, sparkling and deep cobalt blue waters, Hurricane Bay remains an ever popular playground on the water for skiers and wake surfers alike. Two deep water buoys just offshore are included for your boating pleasure. The property enjoys approximately 90 feet of lake frontage and two deep water buoys just offshore are included for your boating pleasure.
Approach the home with its welcoming gabled entryway to lake views that invite you through the living room and sliding glass panel doors to the flagstone patio, lawn, and into the Lake beyond. The two story great room is the focal point for the home, with the stone surround of the fireplace hearth reaching from the hickory floors to the beamed ceiling above. Generations are certain to gather here to plan, implement, and reminisce over the day’s activities. The island kitchen is adjacent and spectacular with its honed granite counters, polished copper pendant lighting and professional grade appliances, fully equipped for the most discerning chef. An adjacent pantry with full sized refrigerator and freezer, appliance garages, and coffee station offer ample prep and storage space. The wet bar with ice maker, wine fridge and two pull out beverage coolers simplifies your entertaining obligations.
Dining with its beautiful overhead pendant light and old-world aesthetic is lakeside and flows outside through French doors onto the covered stone patio with overhead heating for those cool evenings when alfresco dining is on the menu. The remainder of the patio is open to the sky and accommodates the gas fire pit and Hot Springs spa. From the patio to the lawn to the beach and all that Lake Tahoe has to offer, right at your doorstep.
An adjacent media room invites family and friends to nestle in and enjoy a movie. The hallway connects with the garage and offers a dedicated laundry room with a double set of washers and dryers, a great convenience, and mud room with built-in cubbies which offers organized storage for the whole family.
Adjoining the outdoor spa and lakeside patio is a secluded guest suite with walk-in closet. The bathroom enjoys heated floors, a soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Finely appointed and decorated, this suite enjoys access to the spa and Lake from its ground-level setting.
Upstairs are three beautifully appointed suites connected via a balcony walkway looking into the Great Room from above. A private office is situated on this level with panoramic lake views through glass-paneled barn doors. The Owner’s Suite is spacious, with forest, mountain and Lake vistas beckoning. The luxurious spa-like bathroom includes a soaking tub with lake views, heated tiled floors, steam shower, double vanity sinks, and walk-in closet.
While the Great Room will remain the common gathering area for family and guests, the children will likely gravitate to the bunk room situated above the garage with six queen size built-in bunk beds, storage, and day bed with trundle. All beautifully and tastefully appointed. An en-suite full bath completes the space with heated floors, double vanity sinks and walk-in shower.
