This custom designed and built log home is located in The Reserve and lies less than 7 miles east of Burnsville. The Reserve is a well-maintained development with site-built homes on larger forested lots. The home features hardwood flooring throughout with vaulted ceilings in the great room and both bedrooms. The floor plan features two good-sized bedrooms built on each side of a large central great room. The great room is open to the kitchen and dining areas. The dining area is located in a six-sided step out that provides an abundance of natural light to the entire great room. The great room has a wood burning fireplace and the primary bedroom and the downstairs den have wood stoves. A unique spiral staircase provides interior access to the basement area. A portion of the downstairs has been finished, and an additional full bath just needs some tile work to be complete. The unfinished western end of the basement area serves as a shop space and mechanical room where the water softener/purification system, water pressure tank and hot water heating system are located. There is a wrap-around deck running along the eastern and northern sides of the house. The deck is the perfect place to sit with a cup of coffee and take in the spectacular mountain views looking across the valley.
