Steps from Lake Tahoe’s Sparkling Shoreline, This Turnkey Townhome Blends Mountain Charm with Smart Design Tucked in the sought-after St. Francis Lakeside enclave, just moments from Lake Tahoe’s shimmering edge, this fully furnished two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhome is the perfect marriage of cozy mountain vibes and modern tech-savvy living. With approximately 1,100 sq ft of thoughtfully designed space, the reverse floor plan takes full advantage of west-facing windows to invite in warm afternoon light. Lutron smart lighting and integrated home automation manage the ambiance effortlessly—whether you're relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, the open-concept main level is all about the views. From the kitchen, dining area, glass doors, and private deck, you’ll enjoy filtered lake and mountain vistas—a stunning natural backdrop that elevates everything from morning coffee to sunset dinners. At the heart of it all is a chef-tested kitchen—literally. Chef Robert D. of Piedmont praised it as “top-notch… super comfortable,” from the high-quality cookware to the curated lighting and art. A newly installed gas range (yes, we’re cooking with gas now!) enhances the culinary experience. Bonus: the switch from electric freed up 50 amps in the panel—perfect for adding a Level-2 EV charger right at your assigned parking spot just steps from the front door. Quartz countertops, premium smart appliances, and spacious hand-finished cabinetry blend sleek style with serious functionality. Work-from-home? No problem. A custom built-in desk with single-cable docking makes plugging in seamless. Just outside, your private deck is the ideal spot for morning coffee or après-ski cocoa. Downstairs, the primary suite features an ensuite bath with a spa-inspired shower and generous closet space. The second bedroom sits just across the hall, with a full bath nearby and a laundry area conveniently in between. But the magic of St. Francis Lakeside doesn’t stop at your doorstep. The community offers an impressive lineup of lakefront amenities: a 350-foot private beach with kayak storage, shared pier, seasonal outdoor pool, year-round spas (indoor in winter, outdoor in summer), tennis, sand-volleyball and bocce courts, plus a lakeside BBQ and picnic lawn—all spread across six beautifully maintained acres. What really sets this place apart is the HOA, described by a high-end short-term rental manager as “unlike any other in the region.” The on-site property manager delivers personalized service—from shoveling the walkway, snow plowing and exterior maintenance to even handling Amazon deliveries. Recent upgrades include new composite decks and modern high-efficiency furnaces. And here’s a big win: the community is already Firewise certified—a rare and valuable designation that not only reflects a proactive approach to wildfire safety but also qualifies homeowners for fire insurance discounts—a major advantage in the Tahoe market. Outside the gates, you’re just steps from a public boat ramp, Tahoe City’s lakeside bike trail, and the open fields of Pomin Park. And when it’s time to hit the slopes, Palisades, Northstar, and Homewood are all an easy drive away. Whether you're seeking a low-maintenance mountain escape, a plug-and-play tech-friendly retreat, or a ready-to-rent investment (complete with glowing early reviews), this turnkey Tahoe townhome offers four seasons of adventure—without the hassle. Just bring your toothbrush—and your favorite recipe. Everything else is ready and waiting.
