The centerpiece of the living room is a super comfy designer “cloud” sectional where you can grab a throw blanket, sink in, and stream your favorite movie in surround sound or just enjoy the gas fireplace in the evening.<br /><br />YouTube TV is provided, or feel free to log into your own streaming account using the high speed wi-fi. Just outside is the private patio with the fire pit, hot tub and an extra heater for those cooler evenings when you want to soak up the evening sky but remain warm. Grab one of the plush robes, drop it in the robe warmer as you walk outside, and take a dip in the private hot tub while enjoying a magnificent Tahoe area sunset and sipping your favorite beverage. When you finish, you can grab your toasty warm robe before you head back inside. During winter, heated mats are provided to keep the path to the hot tub free of snow.<br /><br />The kitchen is a chef’s dream featuring Jenn-Air appliances, a 6-burner gas range, a selection of All Clad stainless steel and Le Creuset pots and pans, Shun knives, a Vitamix blender and a full range of small appliances, accessories, oils and spices. Serve your meal at the reclaimed oak dining table that seats up to 10, and use the many casually elegant serving platters and bowls and of course the cloth napkins to impress your guests. A generously sized bar area also provides the perfect space to prepare craft cocktails. When the temperatures outside are just perfect for al fresco dining, enjoy grilling on the BBQ with accompanying side burner, and dine at the teak outdoor dining set. <br />For coffee and tea lovers, my home offers a Keurig machine, when time is tight, a drip coffee maker (and whole bean grinder) to make a larger pot of coffee, and a Breville Oracle One Touch top of the line espresso and cappuccino maker for the ultimate espresso beverage, which should please even the most discerning coffee lover if you are willing to take a few minutes to learn how to use it. For tea lovers, an electric kettle is provided as well as a variety of teas.<br /><br />The primary suite is located on the first level and features a reclaimed oak king bedroom set, a supportive Tempur-pedic mattress and access to the outdoor patio through the large sliding glass doors.
