The soul of this Lahontan Golf Club home is a towering granite fireplace where, on this night, radically different stories are being spun beside it. On the kitchen side of the fireplace, the laughter is comfortably loud as friends get up to speed with one another. The great room side of this fireplace is where the uncle known for his storytelling is playing to a captive audience of speechless youth, wide eyes and open mouths revealing the intensity of his tale. These nighttime moments are part of what defines the memories and legacies created here, moments that begin at daybreak in the kitchen with the pitched ceilings and morning sun. While the great room is a daylong rally point, its allure peaks as the sun sets and the doors swing open to a series of decks leading to a firepit ideally suited for s’mores and stories. It’s a stimulating connection between the indoors and outdoors. Nearby is a dining room with its own private corner, while also on the main level is both a guest bedroom and a master bedroom with oversized bathroom that can be accessed from both sides of the bed. At the bottom of the stairs is an expansive media room with a small refrigerator and sink and just down the hall from the media room are two bedrooms with forest views.

This 3,834-square-foot, 4-bed, 4.5-bath home exudes a classic Tahoe lodge feel, complemented by appliances that are the industry’s best and accented by that grandiose, double-sided rock fireplace that inevitably attracts all those who come here to gather, connect, and tell stories that enliven the evening and that enrichen our lives.
