More Insights

Built in 1940 (86 years old).
Condition: Built in 1940, this cabin retains much of its original character with wood-paneled walls and a stone fireplace. While the kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, updated countertops, and a subway tile backsplash, and the bathrooms have also seen updates with modern tiling and functional fixtures, the overall property shows its age. The dark wood floors in some areas and the stairs exhibit wear, and there's no mention of central HVAC, with a portable heater visible. The new septic system is a significant upgrade, but the home is aged and maintained through updates rather than being extensively renovated throughout, fitting the 'Fair' category.
