Is This ‘The Most Spectacular Waterfront Property in North America?’

Fronting Lake Tahoe and featuring the spectacular Sierra Madre Mountains as a backdrop, this 8,694-square-foot home sits on a half-acre lot, with the listing declaring it to be “quite possibly the most spectacular waterfront property in North America.”

Glass walls on all levels of the home maximize the amazing view, with other features including a steel pier, boat hoist and two buoys.

The half-acre lakefront lot features meticulously landscaped garden that integrates the modern home into the natural setting.

Each of the home’s six floors can be accessed via this glass stairwell, or by the glass elevator seen in the background.

Built in 2008 on the edge of Lake Tahoe, the home’s unobstructed views of the lake and snow-covered mountains are maximized with floor-to-ceiling glass-and-steel walls on every level of the home. The round freestanding gas fireplace is the focal point of this space adjacent to the dining room and living room.

The living room offers a stunning view through the floor-to-ceiling window, with a traditionally styled fireplace providing a cozy accent.

The family room also boasts a gorgeous view, with a glass door accessing the exterior wraparound deck.

The custom wood cabinetry adds to the mid-century modern feel of the state-of-the-art kitchen.

The clean lines of the island contribute to the modern look of the sleek, chic kitchen.

The large laundry room includes double washer-dryers as well as ski lockers, perfect for storing gear after a day on the slopes or, during the summer months, water sports in the lake.

The view from the corner master bedroom is nothing short of incredible thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, while a fireplace adds cozy warmth.

A uniquely shaped freestanding tub and a massive walk-in shower feature in the master’s massive ensuite bath.

Even the guest rooms in the four-bedroom home boast amazing views!

Another of the home’s guest rooms, also featuring a picturesque view.

A snail-shaped glass shower is the focal point of the guest bathroom, one of four bathrooms in the home.
