The 1st time I visited SUGAR and SPICE and EVERYTHING NICE! I walked down the side steps and across the back yard over the newly fallen red, yellow, and orange leaves that dotted the back yard and I made my way to the boat dock. I walked out to the end and had a seat, letting my legs dangle just above the water. I watched the minnows darting too and fro. A slight breeze was moving through the tree tops and an occasional acorn dropped from the branches. It was quiet. It is rare these days to experience quiet, and boy did I like it! The sky was the prettiest blue I think I have ever seen, the air was crisp, the view was perfectly clear and the colors of the leaves took my breath away. We all need to experience days like this, to restore our souls and to regain our perspective. It is days like this and scenes like this that captured my heart and encouraged me to leave Florida, my former home, for good. Welcome to Polk County! Days like this are numerous and the heavenly peace and quiet is commonplace. If you would like to have a place with a view such as I have described, then you need to take a tour of this lovely log cabin in the Lake Adger neighborhood.
The driveway is deceptively hidden and has a turn around area with a retaining wall. The cabin has a light grey stain with hunter green trim around the soffits, windows and trim. The shutters are adorable and are custom made for this home; they each have an evergreen tree cutout. Nestled against the sloping lot, the home is perfectly situated to allow for a nice long paved driveway, enough room in the wooded front yard for a play area and picnic table and the walk to your own private dock is quick and easy.
As a matter of fact, the soaring cathedral ceiling runs the length of the open rooms with handsome wood beams that give the space some rustic flair! The beautifully simple character of this living area is enhanced with double french doors with large windows above and an exposed log exterior wall. There are two ceiling fans with light kits, a gas log corner fireplace unit, and direct access to the deck.
The deck wraps around the home on 3 sides, is made of Trex (decking boards) and is a great spot to relax, read a book, grill out for the crowd or just enjoy the surrounding nature. What an amazing spot to watch the seasons unfold among the trees!
To the left of the living area is the spacious master bedroom with two walls of exposed logs, a french door to the deck, a ceiling fan with a light kit, a walk-in closet and a private en-suite. The bath offer dual sinks with a storage tower on each side, two exposed log walls and an easy care combination tub and shower.
To the right of the living area is a guest bedroom with two walls with exposed logs, a ceiling fan, wall-to-wall carpeting and a closet.
The guest bathroom is situated between the guest bedroom and the flex room and has an easy care tub and shower combination plus built-in cabinetry for storage. In the hallway of the bathroom is a scuttle hole for easy attic access.
The naturally bright flex room overlooks the lake, has direct access to the deck, a closet, a ceiling fan and wall-to-wall carpeting. This would be a perfect space for an at home office or studio. The light in this room is perfect!
The patio has a concrete slab and stucco walls. It overlooks the lake and front yard.
A flex room has wall-to-wall carpeting, a lake view, a ceiling fan and a closet.
The guest bedroom has wall-to-wall carpeting, a lake view, a ceiling fan, and a large closet that is situated under the stairway so it can accommodate boxes for storage.
The workshop has a concrete slab floor and built-in shelves with space for boxes and storage items like lawn chairs or boating items. This is a flex room that could be a hobby or computer room as well.
A kitchenette area houses a 2nd refrigerator and has space for kitchen cabinets if you wanted to have a place to put a microwave.
Around the corner from the kitchenette is a full bath with a corner shower and a white vanity.
Take a deep breath, stroll down to the dock and be prepared to be captivated! Make sure you take some lawn chairs, you won’t want to leave anytime soon!
This sweet log cabin embraces tranquil living and will be enjoyed the most by those who have an affection for indoor/outdoor entertaining. Located minutes from the Tryon International Equestrian Center, this property would be an ideal full-time or part-time home with plenty of space for guests.
