If you've dreamed of owning a genuine log cabin by the lake, look no further. This 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath cabin offers rustic charm with modern upgrades, all nestled on a serene .79-acre lot just five minutes to Carter's Lake. Step inside to an inviting open floor plan with a vaulted ceiling and skylights that flood the space with natural light. Ceiling fans in the living room, dining area and both bedrooms enhance comfort year-round. The wood-burning fireplace provides the perfect ambiance for cozy evenings. The updated kitchen features a stylish backsplash, a convenient pantry, and a dedicated laundry room. One of the bedrooms boasts a sliding door leading to the back deck, ideal for enjoying morning coffee or evening sunsets. The main bathroom has been tastefully renovated with stonework around the tub, and a stunning vessel sink that resembles a pool of water. Relax on the back deck as you listen to the peaceful sounds of nature and watch deer roam the wood. Outside, a 10'x12' outbuilding offers flexible use as a workshop or extra storage. Two wide, level driveways provide ample parking. The cabin combines accessibility with tranquility and is located on a paved road. This home had one previous owner and is ready for you to make it your own.
