Property Description

Now offered at $1,450,000, 3120 Polaris Rd presents one of the most compelling opportunities in Tahoe City's desirable Highlands neighborhood — a versatile mountain home with flexible living spaces, immediate trail access, and easy proximity to Lake Tahoe, downtown Tahoe City, and Palisades Tahoe. Tucked into one of Tahoe City's most sought-after neighborhoods, this longtime primary residence of professional freeskier Michelle Parker offers a true basecamp for year-round adventure and everyday comfort. The home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths per county records (lives like a 5-bedroom layout) with thoughtfully updated spaces throughout. A remodeled kitchen and open living area create a welcoming gathering space, while most of the upstairs and two full bathrooms have been tastefully renovated. A fourth bedroom is currently used as a home office and music room, while a fifth bedroom functions as a spacious storage room — offering flexibility for guests, creativity, fitness, or gear storage that complements Tahoe's active lifestyle. Step outside to immediate access to Tahoe Cross Country trails, miles of hiking and biking routes, and a paved bike path connecting directly to Tahoe City and the lake beyond. Whether skiing at nearby Palisades Tahoe, riding from your front door, or enjoying a quiet evening among the pines, the location captures the essence of Tahoe living. The home offers a solid foundation with key improvements already completed, including a new roof (2010), new furnace (2014), and AC added in 2024, while still leaving room for future owners to personalize exterior and lower-level spaces over time. With a two-car garage, flexible floor plan, and exceptional proximity to Tahoe's best recreation, 3120 Polaris represents a rare chance to establish a Tahoe basecamp in one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods.
