Property Description

This custom-designed, luxury log home offers Scandinavian charm and all the modern amenities needed for the perfect Tahoe vacation during any season. Located in the exclusive Tahoe Donner neighborhood, The Swede Life rests on a quiet half acre of flat, stream-fed, wooded forest that is perfect for families with older members or those with young children. This home provides immediate access to the scenic Nature Loop Trail and backs up to a preserved wetland area. A private natural spring bubbles up into a small pool before babbling into nearby Trout Creek. The scenic stream sprouts flowers attracts wildlife and offers a beautiful natural environment for kid play. The Swede Life was designed with both entertaining and children in mind. The 4,000+ square feet of living space is spread over the main floor and an upper floor, whose separate sleeping areas are connected by a dramatically elevated catwalk overlooking the great room. Five bedrooms and three full baths are located on the upper level in three distinct wings. The south wing of the upper level holds a master bedroom with its own gas fireplace and another room immediately adjacent. In the north wing, there is a second master with a neighboring bunked bedroom, both of which open into a common bonus room alcove designed to entertain kids in a separate living space during early mornings or after hours when adults might gather downstairs. The upper level also has a bedroom on the west wing with its own deck and bathroom, 50'' flat-screen television, and a delightful reading loft outside its door. On the main level is a final bedroom with its own bathroom—great for those who may have trouble getting up or downstairs. Older guests will appreciate that the front entrance, garage, and entire main floor can be accessed with no more than one step up or down. With nine separate zones of in-floor, radiant heat throughout the house, you should be able to find and maintain the perfect temperature without the noise, dryness, and constant disruption that come from forced-air heating. Enormous vaulted ceiling in the great room with 30’+ tall, east-facing windows capture gorgeous sunrises will everyone can lounge on the large leather sofa with wood burning stove, 60'' television with Netflix, DVD, and Sonos. The quiet and welcoming family room sits on the main floor opposite the great room and offers its own wood-burning fireplace, leather sofa, and reclining lounge chair, and a sun-drenched card table ideal for games or drawing.
