Photos: Peek inside a $45 million Lake Tahoe mansion with views from every room
A striking glass-and-steel residence overlooking Lake Tahoe has been listed for $45 million.
Designed by British architect Mark Dziewulski, the nearly 10,000-square-foot home — known as the 'Tahoe Glass House' — sits on a steep, half-acre slope in Crystal Bay, Nev.
Among its standout features are a five-story floating staircase made of laminated glass and a cylindrical glass elevator that connects the home's six levels.
Built in 2008, the home was designed to maximize views of the lake and surrounding Sierra Nevada range.
'The owner wanted a year-round house that took full advantage of the dramatic site,' Dziewulski said in a statement.
To comply with zoning restrictions, the structure was embedded into the hillside and is largely concealed from the road.
The main entertainment level features floor-to-ceiling windows, a heated lake-view balcony and a kitchen outfitted with dual marble-topped islands and a butler's pantry. The primary suite occupies an entire floor, with additional guest accommodations on two lower levels.
Outside, the property includes a private steel-and-Trex pier with a 3-ton boat lift and two buoys. A granite sculpture by artist Jesús Moroles is installed on the landscaped grounds.
'The Tahoe Glass House is not just a lakefront home; it's a true masterpiece, where art, architecture and engineering seamlessly come together,' listing agents Breck Overall and Soni Jackson of Sotheby's International Realty said in a statement. 'The home offers a living experience unlike any other.'
