The Ultimate Tahoe City Family Home on Coveted Watson Drive. Welcome to 3030 Watson Drive, a rare opportunity to own a spacious and thoughtfully designed home in one of Tahoe City’s most beloved local neighborhoods—The Highlands. With 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, including 3 ensuite bedrooms, this home offers exceptional flexibility and comfort for full-time living, multigenerational families, or vacation hosting. The fifth bedroom features its own private entrance, making it ideal as a guest suite, game room, or even a separate apartment. Entertain effortlessly in the chef’s kitchen, relax in the cozy TV lounge area, or take advantage of the extensive storage throughout the home—including the 1,000 sq ft 3-car garage, where the third bay is perfectly sized to store your boat year-round. In case you have a lot of Tahoe Toys, we have you covered: there is an almost 500 square foot finished indoor storage area – with both interior and exterior access. Relax outside in your fully landscaped yard with a mature lawn and a legal fire pit area—the perfect setting for summer evenings under the stars. Or, on a snowy day enjoy the reclaimed wood floors, vaulted ceilings, and your choice of three gas fireplaces. Located steps from premier trailheads, Tahoe City High School, public beaches, and the bike path, this home sits on one of the most sought-after streets in The Highlands. Watson Drive is renowned for its annual block party, sense of community, and beautifully maintained homes. If you're looking for space, comfort, and the perfect neighborhood vibe, 3030 Watson Drive delivers it all.
