Description

Its not every day that a log cabin built in the 1780's comes on the market. They knew how to make them back then! Chestnut logs, protected on the outside by corrugated metal exterior, visible throughout the interior of the home, wide plank pine flooring, stone foundation, and a huge stone exterior chimney, correct for the period, which provides a flue for a woodstove in the living room area. This cabin was renovated and updated in the late 1990's , with new drain field, metal roof, windows, bath...Its not every day that a log cabin built in the 1780's comes on the market. They knew how to make them back then! Chestnut logs, protected on the outside by corrugated metal exterior, visible throughout the interior of the home, wide plank pine flooring, stone foundation, and a huge stone exterior chimney, correct for the period, which provides a flue for a woodstove in the living room area. This cabin was renovated and updated in the late 1990's , with new drain field, metal roof, windows, bath and kitchen, but while retaining its original character. The 3.3 acre lot is large enough to accommodate an addition, and feature a small creek on it southern border, and is protected in the rear by a healthy swath of trees. Heating and air is provided by a recently-installed split system.
