Despite being built in 1938, this log cabin has undergone extensive and very recent renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, light countertops, and subway tile backsplash, all appearing virtually new. The bathroom has been 'fully rebuilt' with a contemporary floating vanity, vessel sink, modern fixtures, and a tiled shower. New vinyl plank flooring has been installed throughout the main living areas, and the overall interior is fresh and updated, meeting current quality standards. The exterior is well-maintained, preserving its authentic log cabin charm.
