Published 3:24 pm Friday, March 6, 2009

The featured new home this week is a three-bedroom, three-bath daylight basement rambler with 70 feet of Lake Kayak waterfront on a two-thirds acre lot in rural Monroe.

The property has a private, peaceful mountaintop lake retreat atmosphere.

The house includes a home office, main floor great-room and lower level rec room, in addition to another 600 square feet of crawl space storage with 9 feet of clearance, accessed from the exterior.

Vitals include a propane-fired furnace and hot water tank, a private well and a septic system.

The home benefits from exotic acacia hardwood flooring, granite tile countertops, ceramic tile surrounds, hickory paneled cabinets, and two levels of covered cedar decking.

An open floor plan features oversized windows, vaulted and 9-foot ceilings, and expansive rooms. The main floor is comprised of the great-room, kitchen and informal dining area, laundry room, bathroom, bedroom suite and extra bedroom.

A switchback staircase descends to the daylight basement, where a super-sized rec room dominates. A third bedroom, home office or media room, and another bathroom complete the lower level.

The great-room includes a gas, log-burning fireplace with granite tile border, formal wood surround and granite-topped mantel. The fireplace is flanked by built-in hickory cabinets, and a wall of windows overlooks the natural setting and lake below, with sliders opening to a covered cedar deck with pine soffit.

In the kitchen, a curved center island with granite top and pull-out drawers also serves as a breakfast bar. Other amenities include hardwood flooring, granite countertops with tile backsplashes accented with metal medallions, paneled cabinets and an adjacent walk-in pantry.

The laundry room is large enough to also be utilized as a hobby room. Features include a built-in laundry tub with laminate top, built-in hickory cabinets, matching vinyl flooring, two ventilated wire storage shelves and a vertical window overlooking a side yard.

The upstairs bedroom suite includes an oversized sleeping area, a five-piece bathroom and a large walk-in wardrobe closet with multi-tiered, nickel-coated wire storage shelves.

The suite’s bathroom includes a soaker tub encased in a ceramic tile deck and surround, a freestanding shower, double vanity topped with tile, matching vinyl flooring and lake views.
