Cabin in the city! Very unique property in hot White Oak Hills. Open floor plan, lots of natural light, reclaimed wood walls, vaulted cedar ceiling with a loft area, fenced yard on a quiet, treed street. The house is heated by a wood burning stove that can stay with the house. House is on septic and is currently all-electric which translates to low utility bills!
