    Small but mighty, this charming chalet is ready for its next adventure! Nestled in the trees, this 1 bedroom, 1 bath, plus a sleeping loft effortlessly blends cozy mountain ambiance with modern comforts. Two private back decks, wood accents throughout, woodstove, stack washer/dryer, and workshop/storage make this cabin the perfect Truckee starter home. An updated kitchen with barstool seating at the breakfast nook, whether it's a hearty breakfast before hitting the trails or a cozy dinner by the fire. A library-ladder leads to the sleeping loft, a unique and inviting space for relaxing, stargazing out the skylight or watching movies. The main bedroom with exposed wood beams, offers direct access to the deck, where you can sip your morning coffee while soaking in the peaceful forest atmosphere. Conveniently positioned in the Armstrong Tract and ideally located near Donner Lake, where you can enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, or picnicking along its sparkling shoreline. For outdoor enthusiasts, nearby trails offer hiking and biking opportunities with stunning mountain vistas, and as Donner Summit beckons, you'll love the proximity to world-class ski resorts. Historic Downtown Truckee is just minutes away, offering shopping, delicious restaurants, and a glimpse into the area's rich history. This is the Sierra hideaway you've been looking for! Property is not being sold on a price per sq.ft. basis. Buyer to investigate. Seller is willing to consider concessions.
