Despite being built in 1940, this cabin is exceptionally well-maintained and presents as move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The kitchen features updated cabinets, countertops, a modern black faucet, and a new retro-style refrigerator, all contributing to a functional and charming space. The bathroom also shows recent updates with a new vanity, sink, and fixtures. The wood flooring throughout is in good condition, and the overall aesthetic embraces its 'vintage charm' rather than showing neglect. While not a full modern renovation, the key areas have been updated within the last 5-15 years to a good standard, making it a comfortable and appealing retreat.
