Located on Tahoe's north shore in prestigious Agate Bay, you will have excellent access to the north shore beaches and all major ski areas in the North Tahoe/Truckee area. (4 beaches are within 1/4 - 2 miles. Northstar, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Diamond Peak and Homewood Ski Resorts are all less than 15 miles. South Lake Tahoe / Stateline is 30 miles away.)

This is the ideal home for one or more families. There are two living rooms with fire places, a huge outdoor deck, as well as a 750 square foot living/bonus room complete with wet bar, wood stove, full bath, TV, air hockey, and sleeper sofa. This room makes a romantic and private master suite also. We have hosted many family reunions here, and have really appreciated this floor plan which allows all of us to be together, while still having four separate "living areas" where adults and kids can do their own thing, giving everyone a place to have ample peace and quiet when needed! (Lots of kids and teens in our families, so you might know what we mean!)

Agate Bay is a highly desired residential area that has retained the beauty and serenity of the Tahoe basin. There are lots of open spaces in this neighborhood that boasts nice homes on large forested lots. We are located 6 miles east of Tahoe City and 2 miles west of Kings Beach near Carnelian Bay. North Lake Tahoe has minimal traffic, with none of the crowds, congestion, and commercialism of the south shore. (There is not a single traffic signal for an 8 mile stretch of the North Shore, where this home is located!) Our family has had other homes in Agate Bay for almost 40 years...this is without a doubt one of the best locations in the Tahoe basin!

The neighborhood is quiet, very friendly and great for walking. Our home is only 1 block from National Forest Land, where you will find a wonderful walking or biking trail through the woods to Patton Beach on Carnelian Bay (where dogs are welcome!). Or one can hike or mountain bike uphill through the forest to Brockway Summit for panoramic lake views and access to a maze of Forest Service roads! In the winter, cross country or forest road snowshoeing and skiing is right outside your door.

Furnished with many antiques, this spacious home has 3 bedrooms upstairs. The private master bedroom overlooks the trees, and has a large walk-in closet and bath, a VERY comfortable king sized bed with down pillows and comforter. The master bedroom is private, sharing no common walls with the other rooms.

The second bedroom is furnished in a mountain cabin decor with a VERY comfortable queen sized bed, down pillows and comforter. The third bedroom upstairs has a twin "trundle" bed, which can be made up as a king bed or two twin beds.

The kitchen is very well equipped with high quality cookware and utensils. There are place settings for 12 or more. The huge 12 X 50 foot redwood deck sits within the trees, and receives full sun in the mornings throughout the year. This is a HEAVENLY place to bask in the morning sun with coffee and a good book or conversation. After noon, when the Tahoe summer sun can be intense, the deck is mostly shaded by our 80 foot pine trees. Deck furnishings include a glass table for 6 with a large umbrella, and lounge chairs.

The home is designed with large windows or sliders in all rooms, where you always feel the presence of the mountain light and air. Our 54 inch oak table with 3 leaves will seat 12 for dining in the main living/dining room. Sofa sleepers are placed in the bonus room described above, and in the "den" where there is an open fireplace. A bath complete with a stall shower is located on the ground floor, with the other 3 full bathrooms up stairs.

The home also has a small garage, where bikes or other recreational stuff can be safely stored. There is ample parking in the driveway for cars and a boat. There are 3 boat launching ramps within a 6 mile drive of Agate Bay.
