Hub to Black Hills, 1 acre in city, 2 King beds, 3BR, 2 1/2 BA,dbl heated garage

This custom home was designed, engineered and built by Leonard Swanson, who was the head of the City of Rapid City Engineering and Planning department in the 60's and 70's. His expertise was put to work after the historic Flood of 1972 with much of the redesign of the greenways and residential planning being done under his leadership. The home had stayed in Mr. Swanson's extended family until 2017 when we purchased it.
This hill was known as "water tower hill" before there were homes in this area, as the only water was from a cistern at the top of the hill, no city water at that time. The hill is solid gypsum rock, very common in this area so building on it is a challenge. The view is worth it.
People who travel Sheridan Lake Road know this property, top of hill, large deck and beautiful brick front, almost a landmark in Southwest Rapid City.
People use the wide sidewalks in front of our house to walk to Rapid City's premier park, Canyon Lake Park (10 minutes), baseball fields, Storybook Island (5 minutes) or Baken Park for shopping (20 minute walk).
This is a beautiful neighborhood. This home is on 1 acre and our neighbors also have acre+ sized lots, plenty of privacy. The neighbors all take care of their property, making for quality living and quality vacation time. With a 60' deck on the front and and deck in back with another 400 sq ft, the options for viewing the Black Hills from several directions is pretty special, plenty of room for family gatherings around the natural gas firepit.
Our guests tell us that the attached garage is a big plus for our property. It has an 18' wide door so easy to park two cars side-by-side without door dings. It's heated, for Fall and Winter travelers, this is a real plus.
