Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked among tall Sierra pines, this modern townhouse is a proper base for the mountains – well-placed for Northstar and Downtown Truckee alike. Inside, a gas fireplace anchors the living room while the forest presses close through the windows, and the covered deck above extends that feeling outdoors with its own fire and space for alfresco evenings. The main bedroom looks out towards Northstar, so the day's plans are clear the moment you wake. After the slopes, the spa-style bathroom earns its keep.

About Truckee
On the border of California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is one of the largest bodies of water in the US. As you'd expect, it's an area of astounding beauty, but the lake has also made a name for itself as a centre for both winter sports and water sports, as well as hiking and cycling. The north shore is a bit quieter and more relaxed than the south. While there's still plenty to do (including the annual food and wine festival), you're unlikely to see crowds like you do in other parts of the region.
