Some homes are built. Others are crafted. Built in 1958 for the Grau family, this 4 bed, 2 full bath distinctive quad-level home showcases a level of craftsmanship that's increasingly difficult to find. Much of the lumber used throughout the home came from the family's own saw mill, Grau Logs & Lumber, including its solid oak frame. Rich hardwoods, custom built-ins, and timeless woodwork reflect the pride and quality of a bygone era. Designed with four finished levels, the home offers exceptional flexibility with spacious living and dining areas, a large kitchen with abundant storage, three bedrooms plus a finished upper-level fourth bedroom or office, and a lower level with electric fireplace, full bath, laundry room, and walk-out access to the enclosed three-season porch. A deck, attached two-car garage, and full unfinished basement provide even more room to enjoy. Recent updates include replacement windows, and newer roof in last two years. As an added value, the sale includes the adjacent 30' 120' (.08-acre) parcel #25-22-231-012, providing extra yard space, and endless possibilities for gardening, recreation, or entertaining.
