Homewood Mountain Lodge on the West Shore

Beyond the A-symmetrical front gate lies 160 Cherry Street. Situated on 2.38 acres and backing to Forest Service land, this property encapsulates privacy and seclusion without compromising your proximity to the lake.

Completed in 2020, this home features endless unique components, such as a hanging staircase made out of forged steel, and the use of reclaimed wood from the original Tahoe Tavern Pier that was reworked for multiple pieces throughout this spectacular home. The 20-foot stone, floor-to-ceiling, double-sided fireplace centered in the great room is the heart for family gatherings and celebrations.

The main home has five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and a 1,400-square-foot deck with a covered patio and wood-burning fireplace. The guest house is a fully detached one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit with four additional built-in bunk beds to accommodate both friends and family.

Nestled between the guest and main homes is an outdoor patio with a gas fireplace and a 30′ outdoor water feature. There are two separate garages that can comfortably house five cars and a boat. The radiant heat, air conditioning units, air purifying system, elevator, and heated stairs and driveway are the finishing touches to ensure life at Cherry Street is as effortless as it gets.

As a member of Tahoe Swiss Village’s homeowner’s association, you can enjoy the use of two buoys, two piers, and a private beach located just across the street. This custom home was initially envisioned as a mountain lodge with an industrial feel, and the dedicated group of minds behind it brought this vision to life. It was designed, engineered, and built by local teams who have a deep affinity for this area and worked together to seamlessly integrate the intimate characteristics of the home with the nature that surrounds it.

Q3 2023 Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market Update

Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market Update

In the first three quarters of 2023, all micro-regions with the exception of lakefronts continued to show a deep decline in the number of single-family homes sold. In fact, sales volume this year has hit decade lows. Median price has been far less impacted and, in all micro-regions, sits above pricing in 2021. The supply of available homes for sale remains at about half of pre-covid levels, which at least partially explains the retention of values. With a late start to summer, after our historic winter, lakefront sales began to rebound in Q3 but still hover around the lows we saw in 2009, yet median price reached a record high. In Incline Village & Crystal Bay, 14% of single-family homes sold above $5 million.

The ongoing discrepancy between the dramatic dip in sales volume compared to the minor movement in median price reminds us that post-covid pricing may be the new normal, despite slow sales. A burst in September real estate activity balanced the sluggish start to the season and is signaling a recovery of unit sales. Now, all eyes are on Q4 as we anticipate this fall momentum will bring a strong finish to the season, equalizing Q1.

  • Single-family homes sold decreased 15% year over year, hitting a 14-year low.
  • Median price increased 4% year over year.
  • Average Days on Market was 44 days. In 2021, DOM was 37. In 2019, DOM was 77.
  • 32 of 178 homes (18%) sold for over $2 million. 8 homes (4%) sold above $5 million.
  • Single-family homes sold decreased 14% year over year, hitting a 12-year low.
  • Median price decreased 10% year over year.
  • Average Days on Market was 119 days. In 2021, DOM was 86. In 2019, DOM was 166.
  • 56 of 99 homes (57%) sold for over $2 million. 14 homes (14%) sold above $5 million.
  • Single-family homes sold decreased 25% year over year, hitting a 14-year low.
  • Median price decreased 4% year over year.
  • Average Days on Market was 44 days. In 2021, DOM was 27. In 2019, DOM was 66.
  • 114 of 531 homes (21%) sold for over $2 million. 36 homes (7%) sold above $5 million.

Sale Price $4,500,000.00

Every home, and every sale, has a story. When I saw this listing hit the market at 8pm, I immediately reached out to my past client who owned the Chipmunk condo nearby that we recently sold, having no idea her and her family were in a position to upgrade.

The odds were against us being that our offer was contingent on another property selling and knowing that this home would likely garner significant interest and offers very quickly, but we decided to give it all we had regardless.

This came down to strong relationships and mutual trust with other realtors in your market.  And just like that, we were in escrow. Congratulations to my friend as we celebrate the successful close of this beauty.
