On Agate Bay, North Shore of Lake Tahoe, about 3.5 hours from San Francisco via Interstate 80 and State Highway 267, and an hour from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Safeway shopping is near by, and Northstar, Crystal Peak (Incline Village, NV), Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski areas are all within thirty minutes. Gaming and entertainment are within twenty minutes in Crystal Bay and Incline Village. Tahoe City, ten minutes away, offers restaurants, shops and a movie theater.

Property
With over a third of an acre set well off the highway by an easement driveway, the property is away from road noise and has a spacious lawn to 80' on the water with wide steps to the lake. This mostly level parcel has plenty of play area as well as three decks for lounging and barbeques. Two buoys, one with swim platform attached in summer, offer lake enjoyment. Agate Bay is known for great skiing on calm waters.

Residence
Thos 5,492 square foot home has eight bedrooms, six in the main home and two more in the guest accommodation over the four-car garage. Rebuilt from a small cabin about 18 years ago, it is in very good condition and has been a wonderful retreat for a family with five children now grown. Sitting steps from the lake, it has an expansive lawn across 80 feet of lakefront and several decks for outdoor living in summer. Three living-family rooms, all with fireplaces, provide separate areas for diverse activities and interests.

Enter the main foyer that extends past three bedrooms and a bath to the main Great Room with living area, kitchen and dining space for sixteen. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace, great views and door to the lawn. Hardwood floors extend through this area. The bedrooms have carpet and there is a tile floor in the bathroom that is compartmentalized and shared between two bedrooms, with additional access from the hall.

At the top of the stairs, the Master Bedroom suite extends over the living room with high ceiling and views to the lake. The tile bath, with separate shower, tub and compartment water closet, features Lake Tahoe in blue on the white floor. The laundry room, a full tile bath and two more large bedrooms, one with a loft, complete this level.

To the right of the foyer is the family room with fireplace, a wet bar with fridge, deck and plenty of room for seating and game tables. A full bath adjoins this room and also serves the downstairs bedrooms.

Through the game room and also with its own entrance from the front of the house is the guest wing over the four-car garage. With its own living room and service bar, this two-bedroom, one bath accommodation can be locked off from the main house.

The garage has depth for storage and work shop, and two bays have been separated with a wall should the owner want to lock off an area for storage. This desirable home has an excellent rental history, with bookings committed through summer 2009.
