Quality holds Value

When it comes to real estate, two things hold value: Quality Construction, and Location. And this Tahoe Donner home, backing to greenbelt, yet just a short walk to The Lodge and the Trout Creek Recreation Center, offers the Best of both. Built in 1989, it is a big beamed version of the "Marlette" cabins so well loved in Tahoe Donner and throughout the Tahoe basin.

With 4 bedrooms, including a lower Den with a bar sink and TV area, it offers space for the whole family and guests. 

In Tahoe Donner, the Summer of 2025 will be remembered by a season of high inventory, unexpected market swings, and a strong buyer preference for homes that are highly upgraded.  From older A-frames that fetched record prices per square foot this summer, to remodeled Chalet-style homes that have sold for multiples of their "non-remodeled" competition, there are numerous examples of Tahoe Donner buyers opting for the easy-in, where "everything-sparkles" and you wouldn't want to change a thing.

At least not today ...

Timeless Craftsmanship

You can change a lot of things about a home: the tile, the drywall, the plumbing fixtures or cabinets, But one thing that's almost impossible to change (without tearing down the structure) is the integrity of the build. As someone who has built and remodeled homes down to the studs, I know -- and appreciate -- quality craftsmanship like solid custom doors (instead of hollow core), or the addition of a wood-wrapped accent wall (when drywall would have been good enough

The Price of Convenience

The reality is: Convenience comes at a price.  You might find a home that's been completely upgraded at, say, $700/sf ... or, you could find a home like the one above backing to Greenbelt in Tahoe Donner (at just $501/sf) that's been through a Phase 1 remodel with room to customize the rest of the home to your own palette.
