Rare opportunity to own a piece of history The Whistle Inn! Nestled in heart of the Sierra Nevada foothills along historic railroad tracks. Where powder days meet pristine rivers, mountain adventure meets rustic charm and endless outdoor pursuits await. This 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath Victorian historic 3-story house built in 1888 on 0.49 acre can be your jewel in that perfect crown. The modern upgrades were done purposely so this home did not lose its charm and the architectural features that make it special. Upgrades include a full chef's kitchen, spectacular curated spaces around a private, pond-inspired saltwater pool with outdoor bar while still maintaining beautiful hardwood floors, many built-ins, high ceilings, and fireplaces. Throw in the 2 car car-port for your cars and adventure vehicles and you have your dream home. With easy access near I-80, you¡¯re just minutes away from Tahoe world-class ski resorts, fishing, or epic hiking. Alta is that small, dreamy gold-rush town with towering pines just 15 minutes to Colfax, 30 minutes to Truckee or Auburn. While train noise may be noticeable at times, most find it charming and adds to the authentic Sierra Mountain experience. The home also includes a web site for it's active B&B producing steady revenue for the last 6 months.
