STAYCATION HOME! Only once in a blue moon does an incredible custom home like this one come on the market, not only in the shadow of our beloved Sugarloaf Mountain, but with great design, owner care, and dedicated maintenance that makes this home a must-see (and buy!). Boasting a rural setting that will remind you of a long ago trip to Maine or the Pacific Northwest, this log and post-and-beam cabin (really, a full-sized home) exudes charm and build quality that only comes with purposeful design and caring construction. On the main level, porches on all sides, with one featuring a stone patio and pergola, all lead to an amazing great room with a big stone fireplace and a warm, inviting kitchen, dining room table space, and main level laundry. The primary bedroom is also on this level with a private bath and a separate walk-out to a screened-in porch that gets you even closer to nature. Go up a level to a huge overlook from the upper foyer, a space that can easily serve as your dedicated office with one of the best views in the region. Two large, post-and-beam bedrooms and a shared full bath flank what could also be, in addition to an office, a well-used kids playroom or a second living room. Much of the lower level (walk-out level) has finished walls and could be converted to the rec room of your dreams or more kid play space. High efficiency 98% modulating propane furnace with a two-stage heat pump will keep you cozy all winter, as will the two wood-burning stoves and the two Mitsubishi mini-splits! New direct-vent propane hot water heater. The metal roof is guaranteed to outlast your ownership and the two-car detached garage is just begging to be turned into a multi-car or hobbyist cave! Even the koy pond conveys! Nowhere else can you live within minutes of the top of Sugarloaf or the MARC train station in Dickerson Tons of trails nearby and, despite the rural feel, your choice of eating and shopping options are just minutes away. Urbana schools are the icing on your log cabin cake! View this listing at: http://carolfertitta.com/mls=MDFR2069972
