The rustic charm of a log home with the upscale farmhouse feel incorporated. Master bedroom downstairs. Gorgeous hard wood floors through out. Cedar lined closets. Chair lift on the stairs. 14 x 13 closet area off upstairs bedroom is not counted in the gla is a great storage area. The whole house generator will give you peace of mind during storms.
