1620 Lanny Lane – Olympic Valley Luxury Home

The original home was constructed before 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 1958 as the “Sunset Idea Cabin,” helping to launch Bull’s remarkable career. Unfortunately, the original home had to be razed due to structural deficiencies. The owners and their skilled construction team were able to replicate, modernize, and re-create Klaussen Cabin.

This stunning home consists of three prow-front cubes, which contain the kitchen/dining room, living room, and family room. These inspired rooms feature walls of windows to take in the views, and the handkerchief rooflines provide additional architectural detail, making this home uniquely Henrik Bull. The home features 4 remarkable  bedrooms, most with balcony/patio access. Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, 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 and family rooms. Each bathroom features custom finishes, including reclaimed wood accents behind the vanities.

 Several reclaimed wood accents adorn the house, 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. This home is stunning to the eye, and the new residence is efficient and comfortable. A high-efficiency in-floor hydronic system provides heating. There is even central air conditioning for those warm summer days, making the home comfortable in all seasons.

There are many beautiful homes in Olympic Valley, but the Klaussen Cabin exemplifies midcentury modern resort architecture. The execution of this like-new home is extraordinary. The West End neighborhood location places you within walking distance of the Village, nightlife, and some of the best skiing on the planet.

This Lake Tahoe ski home’s architectural legacy and its world-class location put the Klaussen Cabin at the pinnacle of Tahoe real estate. It’s rare for opportunities like this to come to market, and we hope that you enjoy this spectacular home.
