Tucked back off the road on 1.29 private acres, this beautiful mill peeled log cabin delivers the real thing, full log construction, exposed beam ceilings, warm knotty pine throughout, surrounded by field stone walls. The house includes 1,313 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a 7 minute drive to Main Street in Wakefield for shops, restaurants, and everything South County living has to offer. Recent upgrades include a new roof, new gutters, brand-new white oak hardwood floors, freshly painted trim, and well tank. New light fixtures brighten the interior, and the whole home shows crisp and move-in ready. A full covered front porch runs the length of the cabin, ideal for morning coffee in the summer. Set well back from the road, the lot offers genuine privacy and a wooded backdrop, with room to spread out. There's ample space for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), a rare chance to add value, guest space, or rental income on a parcel this size in this location. The home comes with a pre-inspection report already in hand. Buy with confidence, close with fewer surprises, and start enjoying cabin life right away.
