Entertaining is easy in this Granite Bay home | Gold Country Homes

Is it possible to sample southern charm out here in the West? It is when you visit 8185 Ramsgate. Southern style meets high end in this Grosvenor Downs neighborhood, a neighborhood that is known for sprawling homes on large lots that boast mature landscaping.
A boulder-strewn half-acre is the perfect setting for this home that includes a wrap-around porch that visitors just love. Grape arbors, a creek bed and a wooden bridge create a curb appeal that can?t be beat.
?This is a fabulous opportunity to own a single-story custom home in Granite Bay,? said Valisa Schmidley of Keller Williams Luxury Properties. ?Everybody wants a home like this ? if I had 10 of them, I could sell all 10.?
It?s easy to see why interested buyers are flocking to the property, which has only been on the market for two weeks.
?This home has an open floor plan, and it entertains beautifully,? Schmidley said.
The kitchen and family room were clearly built for entertaining large groups in both lavish and casual style. The kitchen is surely one of the largest in Granite Bay.
The room includes three separate granite surfaces that form a large horseshoe with a giant island in the center ? all decked out in cr?me fraiche granite dotted with raisin and cocoa. The ?Iron Chef? reality show could set up in this kitchen and prepare dozens of meals, seamlessly.
The kitchen includes a five-burner cook top, double sinks with an additional in-island sink, compactor, Miele dishwasher, microwave and double ovens. The room is paired with both an oversized family room with extensive brick fireplace and hearth, and a large breakfast room which overlooks the backyard and the private pool area.
Bar seating in the kitchen can easily seat a dozen, as well.
?The kids did all their homework at these counters,? Schmidley said. ?And the family entertained Granite Bay High School?s athletics teams regularly.?
The home?s formal rooms are sunken, and each room offers a unique ceiling treatment.
The master suite is one of the most loved features of the home, as well. A large seating area separated from the bedroom by a double-sided gas fireplace is a welcoming respite from the busy day.
The master suite includes plenty of built-ins and access to the pool that lies just beyond. The closet has plenty of built-ins, as well, and the bath includes dual vanities, a sunken jetted tub and separate shower area.
?The bathroom was recently remodeled,? Schmidley said.
Additional bedrooms include rooms with garden windows and plenty of space, and the property includes a remote guest bedroom and pool-accessible bath ? perfect for older children or for a private in-law quarters.
The backyard is large and private, filled with river rock, covered porches, and a natural stone pool.
?The side yards have plenty of room for boat or RV parking, and the side-loading garage gives the home so much curb appeal,? Schmidley said.
The home has too many upgraded features to mention, and includes a two-year-old roof.
