Not another cabin in sight. Shrouded by towering pines, scented cedars, the winding drive leads to this captivating, almost century old, caringly restore habitat. The meandering stacked rock retaining walls lead to the red brick and gray granite steps and walkway. The owner, an artisan of wood and masonry, has spent the last 25 years crafting this enchanting abode. The chimney, each stone stacked with an eye for rhythm and composition, houses an older, dependable wood stove for chilly nights. The living area and dining nook meld into one surround by dual pane windows for light and awesome forest views. Two custom bedrooms, a ¾ bath, provide rest and hygiene. The kitchen is artistically utilitarian. Natural edge, pine planked breakfast bar, granite stone countertops, stainless steel sink, just enough cabinets. This is the getaway to step back in time and restore your soul.
