Home Inspection


We completed the home inspection and based on the seller's disclosures the findings were unsurprising.  The home may require tenting for pests and  some dry rot,  plumbing and electrical repairs will need immediate attention before we can start on any cosmetic work i.e. new floors,light fixtures and appliances.  The roof looks good for another decade.  Not bad for a 78 year old log cabin in the redwoods! Below are more photos,  as promised, of the interior and a diagram of the floor plan.

Rear Exterior
Backyard(perfect for a pool)
Great Room
 An old wood burning stove to the right helps heat the cabin during the winter season
Love the open space with the stone fireplace and high ceilings.
Another view of the great room with 2 of the 3 bedrooms to the left of the front door. 
All the paneling is redwood.

Kitchen (more redwood!)

Bathroom(shower stall directly opposite of the commode)

CABIN FLOOR PLAN

Current 3 Bedroom Floor Plan Courtesy of Realtor
I altered the above floor plan to show one of the immediate projects which is to convert Bedroom 1 into a dining room with french doors to the  front deck.


Please stay tuned for future photos and updates on the transformation as well as design inspirations and ideas for this project.

I love it; what a charming cabin. However, I do not like the formal dining room --- I thought that was my bedroom!!!
