Nestled in the serene Galena Forest, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and incredible potential. Take a very short walk right from your doorstep to access the Galena Creek Trail and enjoy the refreshing forest climate. Inside, the home is a blank canvas ready to be renovated and customized to your exact tastes. Much of the heavy lifting has already been completed, with a recently replaced roof, furnace, and an on-demand hot water heater. Additionally, the primary bedroom's greenhouse windows have been updated, and the primary bathroom has been completely remodeled, including a humidity/temperature fan. The exterior features premium clear heart redwood vertical grain siding. Best of all, you are just a short drive from upscale shopping at Shayden Summit Mall, quick travel at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, or a cool dip in beautiful Lake Tahoe.
