The cabin is a 3 story structure. The main level is solid log construction with a kitchen, dining room, living room, MBR, full bath and laundry room. The top level is also log construction, with 2 BRs, a full bath and a huge loft with a fabulous vaulted picture window.
But the lower level is NOTHING, but a dirt floor (that follows the contour of the mountain), with A/C and heating systems. It has an exterior door, and (get this) a full wrap around deck!
It is RIPE for finishing, which is why we hired Jeff, our contractor, to finish the entire lower level. Jeff designed and is executing the build out.
We will be adding a HUGE rec room with a TV and sitting room and another area for a pool table. The level will have a full bathroom and an additional bedroom. We will be adding a hot tub to the lower deck, but we are having Jeff sink it into the deck, so we do not have to climb UP into it. It will also be very private on the lower deck.
He will begin the project right after Thanksgiving.
