The scenery changes with the seasons, the weather, and the light, offering something beautiful every day of the year. The deck quickly becomes your favorite place to be. Sip your morning coffee (chai or hot chocolate) as the town wakes up. Spend the afternoon soaking in the sunshine, wave to neighbors as they stroll by, offer directions to a lost tourist, host summer barbecues, or simply unwind while watching birds glide overhead. It's a setting that makes you want to linger just a little longer. Surrounded by brilliant wild pink roses and mature raspberry bushes, the property feels both welcoming and peaceful. Colorful blooms and fresh berries add to the secret charms of summer. Originally built in 1945, the home was extensively renovated in 2008 with care and craftsmanship. Improvements included new windows, interior walls and trim, exposed beams, flooring, a beautifully remodeled kitchen, and numerous thoughtful updates throughout. The exterior log walls were professionally restored and treated by a skilled log craftsman, preserving the warmth and character of the original home while ensuring it will be enjoyed for years to come. Step inside and you'll notice the soaring vaulted ceilings, warm wood accents, and abundant natural light. The open-concept living area feels spacious yet comfortable, a place where family and friends naturally gather. Prepare meals on the beautiful gas range while conversations flow around the kitchen, enjoy dinner together overlooking the views, curl up beside the crackling wood stove with a favorite book, or simply relax with music and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. 2 dependable heating stoves (Living room and family room) provide additional comfort throughout the changing seasons. There is a generous family room that's perfect for movie nights, children's crafts, LEGO adventures, a home office, game room, or guest quarters. Having two separate living spaces allows everyone to gather together while still enjoying room to spread out. Downstairs you'll find another bedroom, next to the spacious ¾ bathroom with the washer and dryer. The on-demand hot water heater offers plenty of water for the lingering warm showers on the cold days! The thoughtful floor plan offers space for everyone. Upstairs, an open loft overlooks the living room below creating a bright and airy retreat. Windows allow light into the space from early morning sunrises until late evening sunsets! The upstairs features two bedrooms and a convenient bathroom between the two, with a walk in shower! The home's construction combines the timeless beauty of a solid log first floor with the practicality of a conventionally framed second story, offering warmth, character, and lasting appeal. Outside, a large covered carport comfortably accommodates two vehicles parked end-to-end. The detached workshop, complete with electricity, is ready for woodworking, hobbies, storage, or your next creative project. Even the crawl space is a pleasant surprise; clean, spacious, well-lit, and easily accessible, providing exceptional storage and making maintenance remarkably convenient.
