About This Home

As of August 2025

THIS PROPERTY IS GOING TO AUCTION ON WEDNESDAY JUNE 4, 2025 @ 6:00 PM. THE LIST PRICE ONLY REFLECTS THE SUGGESTED STARTING BID. Completely renovated "Log Cabin" style house while keeping all its history charm including a 3-year old addition integrated into the same time period. It feels like a museum but includes all the current comforts to make it more day-to-day friendly. The original part of the house was built between 1790-1800 with a later kitchen addition and third spacious addition in 2022, it's like stepping back in time. Kitchen/dining cabinetry incorporated old cupboards and wooden boxes to fit the time period, includes all stainless steel appliances. 2022 great room addition is post/beam construction, fireplace mantle, 15' cathedral ceilings, powder bathroom, adjoining room with remarkable walk-in original stone fireplace, living room with log walls, laundry room with sink. Inviting front and rear covered porches, 20' x 6' rear concrete patio. Second level has 3 bedrooms, landing area, primary 11.5' x 9' walk-in closet, full bathroom with shower. Two new heat pumps and A/C in 2022, central vac. Detached garage is a concrete block 28' x 40' garage/shop, plenty of room for vehicles. 1-12' x 9' overhead door and 1-9' x 7' overhead door, concrete floor, electric service. This is a rare opportunity to live in a "Log Cabin" style house restored in all its glory with modern amenities for luxury living. Property has a large pond beside the road so the buildings can set back away from traffic. Truly a must-see property if you enjoy the "Late Revolutionary" part of American history.
