Description

If you were driven blindfolded to this log cabin you would swear you were in the NC or southern VA mountains. You'd be wrong. In fact you would be 8 minutes from downtown Winston Salem and a mile and a half from the Wake Forest campus. Unbelievable! Built in 1936 and recently restored, there is a wonderful history surrounding this home. Y'all please excuse my photos. You have to see this home to appreciate it!If you were driven blindfolded to this log cabin you would swear you were in the NC or southern VA mountains. You'd be wrong.
