Unique Condo On Market At Historical Tahoe Tavern

The distinctive, sloped roof was designed decades ago by a famed Lake Tahoe-area architect to serve a home in snow country.

TAHOE CITY, CA — Property buyers seeking architecturally unique, one-of-a-kind properties from days gone-by will find much to love in this recently listed condominium in Tahoe City.

Built as a mini-condo complex in the 1960s and designed by architect Henrik Bull as an off-shoot of the original, 1920s-era Tahoe Taven hotel, the home offers four bedrooms and an updated interior, but still retains the signature, sloped roofs, designed to accommodate snow that can pile up and last for months, but can also serve as "insulation," according to reports.

Priced at $1.495 million, the residence offers 1,660 square feet, a kitchen with eat-in island, decks with lake views, plus is nearby to tennis courts, pier, shops and restaurants.
