In the heart of Truckee, hidden among the pines, sits a home like no other: a realm where time intertwines with the present. This house proudly welcomes visitors through the front door, a masterpiece crafted from an old wood water tank, to immediately be greeted by the rich and stunning wood floors. Reclaimed from decades-old telephone poles with each unique plank echoing stories from a past life as a vital communication lifeline. Antique doors throughout, rescued from the days gone by, have found new purpose as warm and inviting home accents adding a touch of old charm to a mountain modern interior. Glance up in the great room and marvel at the corrugated metal ceiling, reminiscent of an old barn, gracefully adorned with rustic wood beams. The mix of textures and styles is harmonious, as if the past and present have found a way to dance together. In the bathroom, a Singer sewing machine sits restored and repurposed as a sink vanity reminding us that beauty can be everlasting with a touch of creativity. Upstairs, an old French spice drawer has been transformed into another striking vanity, now serving as a storage space for the necessities of modern living for the two accompanying bedrooms. Every corner of this house bears the imprints of hand-chosen items, each with a unique and storied past, like the fireplace, farm sink basin and chandelier that have found their place in the primary bedroom suite. In the evening, the sunshine from the secluded backyard casts a golden glow through the dining room doors, and across the home's living space. Hidden at the end of a court in Pine Forest, the whimsy outdoor setting is less than a 10 min walk to Pioneer Center; home to Full Belly Deli, Pacific Crest Coffee, Sierra Bakehouse, Camp 1 gym, Truckee Brewing Company, Great Gold restaurant, a yoga studio, hair salon, veterinary office and more. The property's half-acre parcel is adjacent to acres of permanently undeveloped land trust land with access to over 38 miles of trails for walking, biking or spending time in the fresh air. Access to the Trout Creek Trail makes the home just a short walk or bike ride to lively downtown Truckee too. Every part of this modern home with antique elements exudes a sense of contentment. It has found its purpose in preserving craftsmanship, embracing a touch of the present, and creating a space that is truly one-of-a-kind.
