More Insights
Built in 1985 (40 years old).
Condition: Built in 1985, this log home retains much of its original character and features, aligning with a property built over 20 years ago with no major renovations since construction. The kitchen features dated wood cabinetry, white appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, gas range), older laminate-style countertops, and very dated fluorescent panel lighting. The flooring in the kitchen is also an older tile pattern. Bathrooms show similar signs of age with dated vanities, fixtures, and a gold-framed shower enclosure. While the property appears to be maintained and functional, the overall aesthetic, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, is significantly outdated and would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current market expectations. The flooring throughout is a mix of older wood and dark carpeting, and light fixtures are generally traditional and not modern. There are no indications of recent major system upgrades or extensive renovations.
