More Insights

Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: Built in 1985, this unique log cabin is well-maintained for its age, with a solid structure and charming rustic appeal. However, the kitchen features dated tile countertops and some older appliances (white range), while the bathrooms exhibit significantly outdated styles with older vanities, fixtures, and wallpaper. While functional and clean, these areas require minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.
