Pine trees press right up against the windows of this Truckee house, and the wood-burning fireplace in the living room makes the most of that backdrop on cooler evenings. Outside, a forested deck and terrace with a fire pit give the group somewhere to decompress beneath a tall canopy. For larger gatherings, there's real room to breathe – a formal great room, a game loft, an entertainment basement, and a gym mean everyone can find their rhythm. Olympic Valley skiing is close when the mountains call, with Lake Tahoe is just a short drive away.
