More Insights

Built in 2004 (22 years old).
Condition: Built in 2004, this custom log home is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. While the overall condition is excellent for its age, the kitchen features black appliances (some stainless steel), traditional light wood cabinets, and a tiled backsplash that, along with the tile countertops in some bathrooms, reflect a style from its original build era rather than recent modern renovations. All systems appear functional and well-kept, but the aesthetic in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms is not 'virtually new' or fully updated to current contemporary standards, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category.
