Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1981 (43 years old), is well-maintained with recent significant functional upgrades like a newer tankless water heater and brand new septic leach lines (2024). However, the kitchen features older white appliances and dated wood cabinetry, and the single bathroom, while clean, has an older vanity, basic lighting, and a dated aesthetic (e.g., green painted walls). The overall style is a consistent rustic log cabin, but the key areas of kitchen and bathroom show signs of being outdated and would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current standards. It is move-in ready but not extensively renovated in the last 15 years.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7841, living area = 1039.
Nestled at the edge of a tranquil meadow among towering pines and cedars, with views of a seasonal creek and abundant wildlife, offering a true mountain retreat experience.
A romantic log cabin aesthetic is enhanced by recent significant upgrades, including a newer tankless water heater and brand new septic leach lines (2024), ensuring comfort and peace of mind.
The property features only one full bathroom, which may be a constraint for a 2-bedroom home with a bonus loft, especially when accommodating multiple occupants or guests.
With 1039 sqft, the interior living space is relatively compact, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking more expansive primary residences.
The property has undergone a price reduction from its original listing of $439,000 to $399,000, which could indicate initial overpricing or a longer market presence.
