More Insights
Built in 1989 (37 years old).
Condition: Built in 1989, this log cabin is 35 years old and shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, old white appliances, and worn laminate countertops and vinyl flooring. Bathrooms are similarly outdated with original vanities, fixtures, and worn flooring. Critically, the actual interior photos reveal severely worn carpet and a large, visible hole in the living room ceiling, indicating a significant defect requiring substantial repair. The property description itself highlights 'untapped potential' and the need to 'roll up your sleeves' and 'add your signature touches,' confirming that extensive renovation and rehabilitation are required beyond minor updates.
