Perched above the Truckee River with 200+ feet of private river frontage, this exceptionally maintained mountain home offers a rare riverfront setting between downtown Truckee and Palisades Tahoe. Built in 2011 into the hillside at an elevated vantage point, the home captures sun from all sides, with large windows in the main living space framing the river below. The open living area centers on a gas fireplace with stone surround, hardwood floors, and a kitchen island ideal for entertaining. Hardwood trim, solid hardwood doors, and upgraded hardware carry a level of quality through every room. The wraparound deck faces south and west for all-day sun. Three bedrooms plus a loft that works beautifully as an office or flex space. The generous primary suite features an en suite bath with high end countertop, a river-rock shower, soaking tub, and ample closet and storage space. Additional highlights include a wine cellar, a large two-car garage with pass-through access via dual garage doors, and forced-air heat. Offered primarily furnished. Located across Bridge 11 on a private road — SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Please do not cross Bridge 11 without listing agent's permission.
