This is the quintessential log home everybody loves. The whole house and decks were just freshly stained, and the green metal roof tops it off. A one-step entry from parking leads across the covered front porch and straight into an open kitchen with painted cabinetry, and exposed log beams overhead. The living room rises two full stories, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and lined with glass doors that open to the deck. Step out and enjoy the quiet, with a glimpse of Ashe Lake through the trees that opens up considerably once the leaves drop. This is a home for all four seasons. The main level also holds a full bedroom and bathroom, plus a tucked-away spot under the stairs with a built-in desk. Upstairs, a large loft with vaulted ceilings serves as the second bedroom and has its own half bath. The current owners finished the lower level (permitted) with another full bath, LVP flooring, and a mini-split. It is flexible space for a family room, game room, or additional sleeping, and it walks out to a covered porch and on to the stone-ringed firepit beyond. This home does not have a current rental history, but would make a great rental property. The sellers stopped renting during Covid, but self-managed the home with good rental income for years before that. Furnishings in place will convey, so it is ready to enjoy or rent from day one. Ashe Lake is a quiet development with low HOA fees and lake access spots with a picnic area, boat dock, kayak rack, and even a waterfall trail. The lake does not allow motorized water craft. The location is just 10 minutes to downtown West Jefferson!
