In 1791, an area pioneer built a hand-hewn log & mortar cabin sturdy enough to stand the ravages of time. It was later moved to its present 2.5 acre site & married to a c. 1850 farmhouse. The pair today are joined in happy recollections of times gone by complete with massive fp, pie staircases, exposed beams, random width flrs, cabin walls in their original state & the old pump outside the kitchen. Modern touches, like individual Mercer tiles on the cabin fp, are in keeping with the time. Renovations include new baths with vessel sinks, pebble shower & iron accents. The versatile flr plan includes a country kitchen with walk-in fp & beehive oven, large DR, cozy study & log LR with exposed beams & brick fp with Mercer tiles. A skylight office space is set above the kitchen. Each of the 3 BRs has exposed beams & there is a large attic with skylights for future expansion. In all, this treasure from the past proudly invites one to linger & savor the antiquity & its peaceful location.
