South Lake Tahoe October Buzz '24

Embrace this Beautiful Lake Tahoe Fall Season

So Tahoe
 

Hello October!

As October sweeps in with its crisp air and cozy vibes, it's our time to prepare our trailer for a winter break! With summer's last rays fading we are grateful for the glamping trips we made this summer. From Graeagle down to Pismo Beach & Morro Bay and baseball & soccer games in between. It was a wonderful summer that went by much too quickly. Is it really October? The temps feel like summer! However, the tell tale signs of Fall are our beautiful colors starting to pop! It is the perfect time to come visit Lake Tahoe and fall in love with your vacation/second home! Thinking of selling? Our Fall season brings us a new group of visitors who fall in love with our beautiful community!

 

There are some wonderful opportunities right now and with the lowering of interest rates & motivated Sellers & Buyers, give me a call! I would love to help you with your Lake Tahoe real estate goals!!

1071 Pine Grove Avenue

2 BD 2 BA 912 SF $439,000 - PENDING

Deja Vu? 1071 Pine Grove is back. It was a very popular property the first time it was on the mkt. Looking for an OPPORTUNITY? You found it. Walking distance to all the fun Tahoe has to offer. The main house is 912 s.f. of living space, per Building Fact Sheet, one bedroom, 1 bath, kitchen, living room/dining room combo and laundry/mud room area(no toilet present). Studio, 282 s.f. per Building Fact Sheet, has power, water and gas to the unit and a .75 bath(no vanity or toilet present). The studio was there when it was bought. Buyer to use due diligence in their investigations. Think of the many opportunities on this large, in town lot. Good bones but it has been neglected for years, with a heavy smoker in the studio(it will have to be gutted). It appears both units are on the same meter. The properties have been thoroughly cleaned, one toilet & one vanity removed. The Property Details from Tax Data, state 2 bedrooms/1 bath/1 unit. City Building Dept. has a Permit for the new roof in 2000 and a Permit for the new FANG in 2001. This is an AS IS sale, no modifications or improvements will be made.
