600 EJ Brickell, Truckee, CA 96161

After a leisurely drive past forests and fairways, you arrive at a long driveway that reveals this 4,000 square-foot home whose deft combination of modern lines and hints of a classic Tahoe lodge complements the handiwork of Mother Nature. The stunning arrangement of handsome angles, alluring windows and soaring ceilings captures the light from dawn to dusk.

An east-facing room greets you as you enter, a sight enjoyed from the home's spacious kitchen with accordion doors to the front patio, breakfast nook, wine cellar, bar, a quaint "passageway workspace" and pantry, and a waterfall counter that inevitably attracts the morning crowd for coffee and conversation, as well friends and family creating the evenings culinary delights.

Beneath towering ceilings is a great room with fireplace, a morning nook tucked into a windowed corner, and a bookend of views running north and south. It's this northern view that the dining room enjoys, a scene made more appetizing by accordion doors that open to a patio with gardens, firepit, hot tub, covered/heated dining area, and a cove with barbecue.

A hallway beyond the kitchen leads to a bedroom as well as the primary suite with fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and access to the hot tub and back patio. At the top of the stairs is a landing that opens up as a media room. Beyond this loft is a secondary suite with an office space, large bath, and private deck. On the opposite side is another bedroom.
