Neatly placed between a secluded cul-de-sac and – beyond its backyard – a national forest, this 5,960-square-foot Martis Camp home unfolds time and again to reveal one elegant surprise after another. It all starts at the front door, where glass walls offer a peek at what’s to come. That something is front and center immediately as an airy, spacious terrace is framed before you like a living work of art. A hallway to the left leads to a guest suite as well as a large kid’s playroom with 2 bunkbeds, play area and large screen TV. Stage right of the entry is the great room with its commanding fireplace and access to the terrace that, like the home itself, continues to amaze. This 6 bedroom, 6.5 bathroom home’s dining room and the kitchen with its large work counter are bookended by the southern sun and the lure of a patio and backyard that run up to the Tahoe National Forest and its circuit of community trails. The terrace is accessed from various points of the home, including the primary suite and the pocketing glass doors of the great room that disappear, creating an unfettered connection between the home and the patio. That terrace includes covered/heated dining space, built-in barbecue bay, a firepit and hot tub. Accessed by way of an outdoor breezeway is a separate office/suite space. There’s a bedroom beyond the kitchen, along with a media room and, up a few steps, a primary suite with access to the hot tub and covered/heated dining area of the main terrace. Further up those stairs is a cozy reading space and two bedrooms, one with with its own covered/heated deck that gazes off to the forest and that sense of calm that’s part of what led Links Magazine to state that “only one thing is more beautiful than visiting Martis Camp, and that is living there.”
