Most A-frame listings offer one triangle. This one, on the Lake Almanor peninsula in Westwood, California, offers two.

It is a matched pair of 1964 A-frames on a single lot, sold together with a deeded boat slip. Both cabins were gut-renovated around 2000 — HVAC, plumbing and electrical all replaced — and both come fully furnished. Each is two bedrooms plus a loft and one bath, sitting over an oversized finished garage with its own washer and dryer. Combined, that is 1,340 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 2 baths on a 9,148-square-foot lot.

The interiors are the argument for the form: open-beam ceilings framed in single timbers, and floor-to-ceiling glass filling the lake-facing gable of each cabin. Views of the water are filtered rather than open, varying by unit, season and how the trees have grown in.

The numbers have moved a long way. Listed May 20 at $699,000, the ask was cut four times — to $674,000, $649,000, $629,000, and finally $599,900 on August 5. That is $99,100 off in 77 days, or $448 a square foot against a $585,000 Zestimate.

Two renovated cabins with deeded lake access, at a price where single Tahoe A-frames now start, is a combination that does not appear often. MLS ML82048039.

Packwood is the last real town before White Pass, and the one Seattle drives through on the way to Mount Rainier. It has a grocery store, a few bars, and an enormous amount of national forest on every side. This 1965 A-frame sits in Timberline, a subdivision tucked into

Bandon sits on the southern Oregon coast, better known now for golf than for anything else. Bandon Dunes arrived about twenty-five years ago and never quite gave the town back. What the resort traffic tends to obscure is the land behind it — shore pine, wind, and parcels still measured
