A three-bedroom, 3.75-bath daylight basement rambler on private Lake Swartz near downtown Granite Falls is our featured resale home this week. It was built in 1996 and is on an 8.9-acre parcel that includes 5 acres of land and 3.9 acres of lake bottom.
The home’s front door opens to a foyer with tile flooring. Straight ahead is an open hallway accessing a powder room and a bedroom suite to the left, and to the right, a kitchen.
The suite’s bedroom is finished with pale neutral plush carpeting, recessed lighting, and a French door accessing a wraparound deck overlooking the lake. The suite’s five-piece bathroom has tile flooring, a jetted bathtub, walk-in shower with glass block and two shower heads, and an elongated double vanity. A walk-in wardrobe closet completes the suite.
A living room is positioned at the back of the house, with numerous picture windows framing the lake view. Other features of the room include pale neutral plush carpeting, a French door accessing the deck, and a fireplace with limestone surround that reaches to a knotty pine vaulted cathedral ceiling.
The dining area is between the kitchen and living room, highlighted by tile flooring, three picture windows facing the lake and another large window overlooking a side yard. A Dutch door opens to a covered area of the deck.
Features of the center-island kitchen include tile flooring, oak cabinets, granite slab countertops, stainless steel appliances, a work station, recessed lighting and a bay window above the sink, overlooking the side yard. The island includes a six-burner gas cooktop with griddle and a stainless steel hood.
A door near the kitchen accesses the home’s attached three-car garage, which has workspace and enough extra room for a freezer and commercial refrigerator.
Near the foyer, a switchback staircase descends to the finished daylight basement, which consists of a family room or rec room, a second bedroom suite and another bedroom, a den or home office, laundry room and three-quarter bathroom.
The rec room has a fireplace with limestone hearth and surround, and a sliding glass door accessing an exposed-aggregate patio.
The home has central vac, surround sound and a security system, a private well and a septic system.
