HOUSE OF THE DAY: Howard Hughes' Former Lake Tahoe Getaway Is On The Market For $19.5 Million
The 5.5 acre estate is situated just on the edge of beautiful Lake Tahoe and has panoramic views of the water and surrounding mountains. Also on the property are a 1,343-square-foot guest house and separate 4-car garage.
Both the main cabin and the guest house have beautifully finished beams, large windows and stone fireplaces.
Hughes entertained many famous guests at the Summertide, including President Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.
The current owners paid $3.5 million for the cabin and renovated the kitchen, which now includes modern amenities but maintains its "rustic" charm.
All four of the bathrooms in the main house have been updated as well.
The house has five spacious but cozy bedrooms with great natural light and lots of privacy.
A new outdoor hot tub with stunning views of Lake Tahoe is an added bonus.
The house has over 500 square feet of lake frontage from which guests can enjoy spectacular views.
The property has a walk-down pier and buoy, providing owners and guests with easy lake access.
The current owners added a heated driveway and a state-of-the-art alarm system in both the main and guest cabins.
