Picture snow-dusted pines, a crackling fire, and fresh powder just minutes from your front door. Tucked at the end of a quiet court on a generous .28-acre lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,423-square-foot mountain retreat offers the peaceful, tucked-away feel you want in a Truckee home — with the convenience of being just 5 minutes from historic downtown Truckee's shops, restaurants, and Saturday morning coffee runs. Every season shines here, but winter is pure magic: wake up to fresh snowfall, load up the gear, and be on the slopes before the lifts open. Northstar, Palisades Tahoe, Sugar Bowl, and Boreal are all an easy drive, and when you're ready to trade skis for skates or snowshoes, Donner Lake is right around the corner. Come summer, that same location puts you minutes from paddleboarding on Donner Lake, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, and the crystal-blue shoreline of Lake Tahoe — with plenty of room on your own lot for firing up the grill under the pines. Whether you're looking for a full-time mountain home, a weekend escape, or a cozy basecamp for every adventure Tahoe has to offer, 11688 Laurel Court delivers the lifestyle — and the location — you've been dreaming of.
