Homewood Archives

There are homes that offer a great Tahoe setting, and then there are homes that bring together the location, views, design, and outdoor space in a way that feels especially rare.

4820 Sacramento Avenue in Homewood is one of those homes.

Set in one of the West Shore’s most desirable pockets, this custom mountain home offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and 3,633 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space.

Designed to Bring Tahoe In

Inside, vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan create a sense of volume and ease. Walls of windows bring natural light into the home while framing the surrounding lake and mountain landscape.

Three decks extend the living space outdoors, creating natural places to enjoy a morning coffee, gather with friends, or take in the changing light across the West Shore.

The result is a home that feels connected to its surroundings while remaining warm and comfortable.

A Backyard That Is Hard to Find

One of the property’s most compelling features is beyond the walls.

The backyard is large, flat, and genuinely usable—a combination that is increasingly difficult to find on the West Shore.

There is room to gather around the fire pit, entertain a crowd, play outside, or simply enjoy having space to spread out. For Tahoe living, that kind of outdoor flexibility can make all the difference.

In the Heart of Homewood

Location is another defining feature.

Homewood Ski Resort is approximately half a mile away, making it easy to enjoy one of the West Shore’s iconic winter destinations. Lake Tahoe is also close at hand, with a public access point just two blocks from the property.

And the neighborhood is entering an exciting new chapter.

Homewood is in the midst of significant resort redevelopment, with a new gondola and village improvements underway. The changes are reshaping the resort and adding another layer of interest to this already desirable stretch of the West Shore.

A West Shore Home With Staying Power

The appeal of 4820 Sacramento Avenue goes beyond any single feature.

It is the combination of a sought-after Homewood location, classic Tahoe character, lake and mountain views, generous living space, and an unusually usable backyard.

For those looking for a Tahoe home that works equally well for everyday living and gathering with family and friends, this property offers something increasingly difficult to find.

A West Shore Dream Come True

A Referral Started It All

You’ve heard every realtor (including me) in the history of real estate say how important referrals are to their business. Well, that’s how this story starts. With a referral.

But this referral came from an agent in Incline who is not licensed in California. Earning the trust of a client is one thing, but earning the trust of another top-producing agent in my same market is another. This agent sells extremely high-end homes and comes from deep-rooted experience. When he called and explained what the client was looking for, he told me I was the first person he thought of.

I immediately went to work. I was put in touch with the buyer, who is also very sophisticated in real estate, with a deep attachment to the west shore of Lake Tahoe. Both he and his wife’s family grew up with property in Lake Tahoe, both of them spending some of their most formative years here. After both of their families had to sell their properties, these two had always held onto hope they would be able to earn enough money to one day buy a place of their own.

Finding Their Way Back to the West Shore

These are some of the hardest-working people you’ll ever meet, and boy did they do it. They built a business, sold a business, and were finally ready to get back to the west shore. We tracked down their old family house, but the owners, though very sweet, were not willing to let it go. So, we went back to square one and started their search from scratch.

When the Right Home Comes Along

When 250 Grimsel Pass came on the market, I knew this was the perfect place for them. They originally had their eyes set on lakefront, but this property checked every other box, so I sent it to them anyway. Side note: good agents WILL send you properties that are LOWER than your budget if they are right for you!

The plan was to look at it during their trip at the end of the month, but I knew this property would bring in multiple offers, and it did. My client was on a flight within a few hours of us talking, and we were at the house the next morning at 8am.

A Multiple-Offer Moment

What ensued was a fast-paced multiple-offer scenario (3 offers total), and though the stress was compounding because we knew it was the right property for them (and I knew they would be devastated to lose it), we stayed the course. We were strategic, decisive, and worked together to find unique ways to strengthen our offer.

The end result? We won.

A Home That Means More

And today, we close on this magnificent property that means far more to these two people than most could imagine. Congratulations to the buyers!

Looking back, the Incline agent who trusted me with his clients was right. I was the right person for the job.

For Sellers, This Is the Part of the Story That Matters

The right buyer may not be actively searching for your property today.

They may be referred by another agent. They may be looking for something completely different. They may have a very specific vision of what they want or a budget that gives them more options than they realize.

My job is to understand the people behind the search, recognize when a property is right for them, and create the connection that brings the two together.

So, when you’re ready to sell, the question isn’t only: Who is looking for a home like yours?

It’s also: Do I know where to find your perfect buyer?

Let’s start the conversation and find out.
