Wouldn't you love a cabin with creek frontage the length of the property, 2 car garage w/single carport, level yard, fenced yard for fur babies, easy access and pastoral views. This one will not disappoint. You will enjoy sitting on the covered front porch, rocking and listening to the sound of the creek or maybe take in the sun on the back deck while watching the kids or pets play. Enter into the office space or reading nook, complete with gas stove for cold winter evenings and at the end a pantry with freezer. Head into the large country kitchen that any cook will love for preparing meals. Kitchen and dining are open with the great room and stone fireplace with gas logs for your convenience and enjoyment. Send the guests upstairs to the open loft bedroom with large walk in closet and ensuite bath. Entering the primary bedroom you will find a laundry/powder room on the left. The primary bedroom is spacious with a huge walk in closet and the ensuite bath is complete with double sinks and linen closet. This one is a jewel.
