Things we love about this property crush:
What exactly is a modified A-frame anyway? This Tahoe City home offers just that: A rare home with not one, but two A-frame cabins that are built back-to-back. It’s, in a word, stunning.
Built in 1966, the property was owned by the family who built it, until the current owners made the purchase in January last year. With new ownership came a whole lot of renovations—the entire house was original. They elevated the dark and drab (and terribly outdated) cabin to a property that manages to marry mid-century style with Scandinavian aesthetics, all while keeping cozy vibes. Basically, it’s everything you want in your California dream cabin. And you know how some overhauls feel almost generic? Not so here. The design is thoughtful and unique—and include a few of the home’s original elements like the statement fireplace and wide-plank Douglas fir floors.

The living and dining space has the signature A-frame that’s made entirely of glass, offering a flood of light that looks upon the mountains. The room has built-in seating to maximize space, and there’s even room for a long dining table. This leads to an open kitchen with sleek white subway tiling, quartz counters, a deep basin sink, new KitchenAid appliances, custom hood surround, and a sweet breakfast bar.
The home boasts three good-sized bedrooms, each with custom woodwork (like shelving and beams) and lots of natural light. Two bathrooms are bright and white with pops of wood and brass fixtures. A bonus loft space currently has a swinging rattan chair that would serve as the perfect reading nook.
There’s a large deck (that’s ready and wired for a hot tub!) and a fenced patio, plus a one-car garage and large driveway—all flanked by trees.
The most fun part: The property has its own name, Stuga 66, which translates to cabin in Swedish.
