About This Home
Welcome to this incredible Swedish Cope log home from British Columbia. Entering the foyer, the views of Lake Champlain & the Adirondacks may leave you speechless. 25-ft floor-to-ceiling windows pull natural light in, complimenting the hand carved logs. Remodeled in 2024, the kitchen & walk-in pantry have stunning granite counters & all the cabinet space you’ll ever need. Perfect flow makes entertaining a breeze. The living room’s river rock fireplace is a centerpiece & talking point. Adding to square footage toward the west, a 70-ft covered deck has an awning, hot tub, & stone fire pit. Spacious primary suite on the main level has cedar walk-in closets & balcony. Upstairs, find a timber-framed loft, full bath, & 2 generous sized bedrooms with balconies. The basement may be the star of the show, offering a home theater & completely sound-proof, music recording studio. Hobby workshop, exercise room, Finnish sauna, & convenient garage doors to backyard patio & outdoor shower. The home’s 7 heat zones, 4 air conditioning zones & ceiling fans make this home quite efficient. Updates include a tile compass in the kitchen, mudroom with Puelche Custom Boot Dryer, patios, porch railings, & roof. Once a farm in the early 1900s, the land has an abundance of fruit trees & mature, easy-to-maintain perennials. Sellers have enjoyed all the water sports & exploring the crystal mine tucked into their shoreline, hence the name Crystal Cove Ranch!
