Welcome to this remarkable custom log home, a true hidden gem that offers far more than meets the eye from its street view. This conveniently located property offers a versatile layout with an abundance of finished living space, making it a perfect getaway or a year-round residence with plenty of room to explore your creative possibilities. The solid log chalet portion of the home welcomes you with an open atmosphere creating a warm and inviting ambiance that you'll appreciate throughout the seasons. The kitchen overlooks the living room and is equipped with plenty of cabinets and counter space to cook every meal with the view of the yard and wooded area surrounding the home. Off of the kitchen you are welcomed into the family room with the large stone fireplace, soaring cathedral ceilings, skylights, and large windows that flood the interior with an abundance of natural light. The two story addition was constructed with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) so the exterior can easily be cosmetically improved on the exterior without concern of structural repairs. What sets this addition apart is its flexibility, as all the walls are free-standing and non-weight-bearing, providing endless possibilities for customization and utilization. The septic system has been pre-inspected with minor repairs completed. Take the opportunity to complete a few improvements to make this home a beautiful retreat.
