Beyond private gates in Granite Falls, this five-bedroom retreat unfolds across park-like grounds anchored by a grassy meadow. A lodge-inspired, multi-level floor plan welcomes abundant natural light and a series of gathering spaces, while the spacious kitchen opens directly to the main living area for easy everyday flow. The primary suite feels intentionally set apart, featuring a spa-inspired bath, sitting area, walk-in closet, and French doors that lead out to the patio. On the main level, an office/bonus room adds flexibility, and a separate-entry flex space off the carport is well-suited to a gym, studio, playroom, or home business. Outside, a large shop/garage, additional carport, four-stall barn, and storage container support hobbies, animals, and recreational equipment, with room for future expansion and a larger shop. Mornings on the covered front porch and evenings on the rear patio invite a quieter pace.
