1620 Lanny Lane – Olympic Valley Luxury Home

1620 Lanny Lane, affectionately known as The Klaussen Cabin, is located in the desirable west end of Olympic Valley. Perched above the fabled slopes of the Palisades Tahoe ski resort, the original midcentury modern home was constructed prior to the 1960 Winter Olympics and was famed San Francisco architect Henrik Bull’s first solo project. This progressive residence was featured in Sunset Magazine in May of 1958 as the Sunset Idea Cabin, helping to launch Bull’s remarkable career. The rebuilt home was completed in 2016 and exudes quality, intricate details, and is a true homage to Henrik Bull.

The 3 prow-front cubes contain the kitchen/dining room, living room, and family room. These incredible rooms feature walls of windows to take in the views and the handkerchief rooflines provide additional architectural detail that makes this home uniquely Bull. There are 4 stunning bedrooms, each with balcony/patio access and  2 en-suite bedrooms, while the other 2 bedrooms have hallway baths for convenience. In addition to 4 full baths, there are 2 gorgeous powder bathrooms in the living room and family room. Each bathroom features custom finishes including reclaimed wood accents behind the vanities. Reclaimed wood accents throughout the house are masterfully crafted with modern styling. The wood is reclaimed siding from the original house, paying further homage to Bull’s legacy. Even the front door and garage doors feature this reclaimed timber, adding to the mystique of this luxury home.

Not only is this home stunning to the eye, but the new luxury home is efficient and comfortable. Heating is provided by a high-efficiency in-floor hydronic system. Central air conditioning will keep you cool on those hot summer days and with the home being built in 2016, the insulation properties keep the home comfortable in all seasons.

There are many beautiful homes in Olympic Valley, but the Klaussen Cabin exemplifies midcentury modern resort architecture and the execution of this like-new home is extraordinary. The architectural legacy of this home along with its world class location put the Klaussen Cabin at the pinnacle of Tahoe real estate. It’s not often that opportunities like this to come to market and we hope that you enjoy this spectacular home!
