At A Glance

Inside the east shore's quietest gate.

A 1993 custom home of three bedrooms, two baths, and 2,281 square feet. The boundaries are pine, granite, and the boundary fence of Uppaway Estates, the gated lakefront community that holds the sunny east shore of Tahoe. The home opens onto a stone patio and deck; the patio opens onto the forest. Inside, every main room reaches for the boulders beyond the glass.

A First Look

Walk the grounds. Pines, granite, red doors, deep glass.

Five frames, each one its own room of the property. The Craftsman front elevation, the stone-flanked entry, the patio that disappears into the forest, the vaulted foyer, and the great room where the arched window pulls the boulders inside.

Stone-flanked covered entry to 1 Kelly Cir with red double doors, arched timber porch, and a stone bench set among ferns and towering pines — The arrival. Red double doors held between granite piers and a peaked timber porch, the floor a path of fitted flagstone.

Stone patio at 1 Kelly Cir with orange-cushioned seating, granite boulder walls, lanterns hung on the boulders, and a clearing of pines opening behind — The patio. Granite for walls, pines for a ceiling.

Foyer of 1 Kelly Cir with vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, slate floor, antique sideboard with hydrangeas, and a carpeted stair rising to the second level — The foyer. A vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, slate underfoot, and the stair rising into the bedrooms.

Great room of 1 Kelly Cir with exposed timber beams, vaulted wood ceiling, a large arched window framing granite boulders and pine forest, sectional sofa, leather club chair, and stone fireplace surround — The great room. The arched window does the work. Beyond it, the boulders the architect built the house around.

“Soaring windows framing huge boulders. A stone patio that merges the indoors with the forest. End the day around the fire pit, watching the Tahoe sunset.”

The Residence

A custom house, built around what was already there.

The site is the architect, here. Uppaway Estates sits on the east shore of Lake Tahoe, the dry, sunny side of the lake, the side that holds 300 days of light a year. The boundary of the parcel is pine forest and granite. The house was designed in 1993 to face that, not to overcome it.

The main living areas open onto a charming stone patio and deck. The patio is bounded by the same boulders the great room window looks out at, with two lanterns hung on the rocks and seating tucked into the granite. The fire pit is for after the sun sinks behind the Sierra crest. The lakeside park, the lake itself, is a short walk down through the trees.

Inside, three bedrooms and two baths in 2,281 square feet. A vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling carries through the foyer and the great room. The great room is anchored by a fireplace and a single tall arched window. The kitchen and dining open to the patio. Hardwood and slate underfoot. The kind of house that holds three generations through a long Tahoe weekend.

The Setting

Inside The Gate

Uppaway Estates is one of Tahoe's most exclusive enclaves. A small, gated, lakefront community with its own park, its own beach, and its own boundary line of pine forest.

The Window

A Single Arch

The great room is organized around one tall arched window. It frames the boulders the listing calls out and floods the room with east-shore morning light.

The Fire Pit

After Sundown

For the long Tahoe sunsets the listing names by name. The pit sits below the patio, the boulders behind, the pines above.

The Details

What makes it Uppaway.

Gated Lakefront Community

Uppaway Estates is a private, gated enclave on Tahoe's east shore. The boundary is a guard at the highway and a perimeter of pine.

Private Lakeside Park

The community holds its own lakeside park on Tahoe's crystal blue waters. Owners walk down through the forest, not down a public road.

The Arched Window

The great room is organized around one tall arched window. The boulders the architect built the house around sit on the other side of the glass.

Stone Patio And Deck

Listed as the moment that merges the indoors with the surrounding natural beauty. Granite seating walls, a fire pit, and an open clearing to the pines.

Nevada-Side Tax Position

The east shore is the Nevada shore. No state income tax. The listing calls out the personal and business tax advantages for Nevada residents.

The Lake

Glenbrook, as it lives.

Glenbrook is the original Tahoe town. Founded in 1860 as a logging settlement on the east shore, it is now one of Tahoe's most exclusive lakefront enclaves. Uppaway Estates sits just south, on the sunny east shore that holds 300+ days of light a year.

Highway 50 is at the gate. Twenty-five minutes to private aviation, fifty to Reno-Tahoe International, three and a half hours to the Bay Area. World-class skiing, the lake itself, and the four-season lifestyle the listing names by name. Nevada residents, on top of all of it.
