Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to announce the exclusive listing of 1455 North Lake Boulevard, an iconic Tahoe City property designed by locally renowned architect Richard L. Whitaker. Built in 1980 and serving as Whitaker’s personal residence, he selected the location for its show-stopping views of Lake Tahoe’s ever-changing seasons.

 

 

Anchored amidst treetops and granite outcroppings on a 0.46-acre lot, this one-of-a-kind residence seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings. Expansive windows bathe the interior with sunlight while step-outside access to hiking or snowshoeing provide year-round exploration.

“The open-concept design is a nod to the grandeur of Mother Nature. Constructed to incorporate magnificent granite boulders and custom woodwork, the living spaces reflect Whitaker’s commitment to harmonizing architecture with the environment,” said listing agent Gretchen Sproehnle.

At 2,118 square feet, there are a total of three bedrooms and three baths. The principal residence, with high ceilings and a striking stone fireplace, offers a warm and inviting space with two bedrooms and two baths and a 270-degree lakeview deck. Additionally, a coveted studio apartment above a two-car garage delivers the flexibility today’s Lake Tahoe buyers are seeking.

 

 

The property’s proximity to Tahoe City’s vibrant community ensures convenient access to local dining, shopping, and recreational activities while still providing a secluded mountain retreat. Whitaker penned many designs in the North Lake Tahoe and Olympic Valley communities, including Rosie’s Café, a local favorite in downtown Tahoe City.

“This offering presents an opportunity to own a slice of Lake Tahoe architectural history. The combination of Richard Whitaker’s innovative design and the natural beauty of the region makes 1455 North Lake Boulevard appealing — and irreplaceable,” Sproehnle concluded.
