With the best views for this knoll-top location from the home's upper level, it was decided that a floor plan with the main living, dining and kitchen areas on the upper level would be preferable. Soaring heights in the foyer and a graceful stairway immediately draws the visitor upstairs. A large great room features vaulted ceilings and tall windows over glass doors leading to a deck from which distant views are enjoyed. The adjacent open dining room and kitchen allow daylight through plentiful windows to help take the chill off the early Tahoe mornings. Five bedrooms and a large recreation room round out this unconventional but efficient home.
