This charming 1950-built cabin is a rare find a true nod to old-school Tahoe, with all the modern upgrades you need and a location that's unbeatable. Just one street from Lake Tahoe itself and the iconic Lakeside Beach & Marina, this home puts boating, paddling, and lakeside lounging at your doorstep. The protected marina offers a launch ramp, boat storage, slips, moorings, and a fueling station. The ultimate walk score, for those craving convenience and connection to all the action. Stroll to the sand, tee off at Edgewood, catch the gondola to the slopes or enjoy dining, shopping and entertainment at Heavenly Village without ever hassling a car. The home's welcoming redwood front deck faces southwest, soaking in all-day sunshine and providing filtered lake views. Inside, 2-story vaulted ceilings with open beams and tongue-and-groove pine deliver that classic cabin feel, while a wood-burning stove insert keeps things cozy. Recent updates include luxury vinyl plank flooring with a warm walnut finish that flows throughout the open living and dining spaces. The renovated kitchen features rustic hickory cabinets, slab granite counters, and all the character of a mountain retreat. With 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, plus an upstairs sleeping loft with room for three more beds, this home is well-suited for family gatherings and weekend getaways. The backyard is fully fenced with a newer cedar fence and mature landscaping, plus a lush lawn, stone patio, horseshoe pit, and space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or letting the dog roam. And while Measure T was recently overturned, the City of South Lake Tahoe has enacted a temporary moratorium on new VHR permits while a revised ordinance is in the works with many hopeful that short-term rental opportunities will return by summer 2025.
