Diamond-In-The Rough Cabin Near Beach: For Sale In So. Lake Tahoe

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CA — Real estate visionaries or handy types —or those not afraid of bears visiting at the door (see photos) — may want to check out this new listing in South Lake Tahoe: a two-bedroom, one-bath cabin that is a three-block stroll from the beach.

Priced at $199,000 and built in 1916, this 796-square-foot, fixer-upper is in major need of elbow grease and renovation, to be sure. But put on your rose-colored glasses: Could it be transformed into a dreamy, little getaway?

Cash offers will be reviewed Monday, Aug. 10.

Address: 889 Alameda Ave, South Lake Tahoe, California

• Price: $199,000
• Square Feet: 796
• Bedrooms: 2
• Bathrooms: 1 Baths
• Built: 1916
• Features: Rare opportunity: A rustic cabin for the price of a vacant lot three blocks from the beach at South Lake Tahoe. You can see the lake from the front yard!
• The cabin sits on a roughly 5, 000 SF lot in a neighborhood of tidy homes. Of course for this price it is a MAJOR fixer. F-I-X-E-R. Built in 1916, it has lots of charm but needs lots of work.
• The kitchen and bathroom are a mess, the subfloor has holes in it- but the roof is just a few years old. An interior stairway leads to a stand-up attic not included in the listed square footage. All utilities are connected and a cursory check with the South Lake Tahoe planning department indicates the cabin is NOT listed as a historic structure, meaning modification up to and including demolition should be OK.
• If you're handy with a hammer and want a place that's a five-minute walk to one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, you're not going to find a better deal than this one. Please, all-cash offers only- to be reviewed Monday, Aug. 10.
