Why they chose this property

Homewood is one of the West Shore's best-kept secrets — quiet, pine-lined, and completely unhurried. The lake is just two blocks away, Homewood Mountain Resort is one mile from the door, and the West Shore bike path puts Chambers Landing (less than 2 miles south) and Sunnyside Restaurant (4 miles north) within easy reach. Tahoe City is a quick 10-minute drive for dining and nightlife. It's the kind of neighborhood where you slow down, breathe deep, and remember why you came to Tahoe in the first place.

What makes this property unique

What sets this home apart is the combination of location, comfort, and convenience that's hard to find on the West Shore. You're one mile from Homewood Mountain Resort, two blocks from the lake with access to a private pier, and right on the West Shore bike path — meaning world-class skiing, swimming, and dining are all within minutes.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated with modern finishes while keeping its warm Tahoe character intact. The upstairs loft bedroom adds a fun, flexible layout perfect for families or friend groups, and the wraparound deck surrounded by towering pines is the kind of outdoor space you'll never want to leave. Add in the private pier access and a flat driveway that makes winter arrivals easy — and you have a property that genuinely works for every season, not just one.
