The warm, inviting kitchen features custom-built oak countertops, handcrafted cabinetry, and a cozy dining nook, while a custom staircase—also built from hand-harvested lumber—leads to an upstairs loft bedroom. A thoughtfully designed modern addition completed in 2005 seamlessly complements the original log structure, continuing the fairytale aesthetic with high vaulted ceilings, decorative wood accents, and an ingeniously engineered spiral staircase. This addition includes an elegant primary suite, plus an additional upstairs bedroom, bathroom, and deck boasting unmatched panoramic views.
