A log cabin with mountain views

The cabin could use a little fixin’ up… but the view out back… ain’t bad.

I’ve only seen this home design in North Carolina.

Arched stone fireplace in an old log cabin

An arched fireplace, complete with a surrounding mantelpiece… very rare in an old cabin.

Old cabin

This is the only example I’ve ever seen of a cabin with a single centered window above a door.

Log cabin fireplace

I do love the old brick that was used to build this firebox.
(the place could sure use a good dusting)

Log Home plans

This cabin is…
Perfect.
Absolutely perfect.
Oh my.
How is that a house was built a hundred and fifty years ago… it still stands straight and true… and that it is SO much more attractive than almost all of the houses that are built today?

Under the porch
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:22:25+00:00
What do you think the purpose was for the wood slating that wrapped the underside of this porch? Was it decorative? Was it to keep something confined? Or, was it to keep something out? (and if so… what was it?)

A log cabin porch

Be on guard for pumpkins this time of year… they tend to sneak up on porches when no one is looking.

Shutters on a stone house
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:22:23+00:00
I have yet to see a home that had shutters on it that was not more attractive for having them. Clearly there are homes that shouldn’t have shutters on them but thankfully those homeowners have not put out the extra effort and expense to do so.

Building on a sloped site
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:22:22+00:00
“Back in the day” there was no heavy equipment available to easily level out a house site.
Larger homes would adapt to steeply sloped sites by incorporating walk-out basements on one side of the house. But homes of more modest means would be built to conform to the site, as seen in this house.
BTW… this home, with the aid of two stone chimneys is quite the charmer isn’t she?
