The log home located at 7893 Charlya Drive in Athens, Texas, is a stunning example of helvedged logs bringing up a warm and nature-loving 2,103 square feet rustic style home in perfect harmony. Among other amenities, the breathtaking log cabin that is by the Fairy Creek Lake, features four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a wood-burning stove in living-room area, covered porch wide for nature enjoyment, and a calm and quite 0.41-acre lot.
The beautiful Pine Creek Lake home built with handcrafted logs in 1989, is a timeless beauty from its glowing golden log outside to its inviting, sun-drenched inside – a place where every sunrise is beautiful and every firing time become a memorable moment. It’s the most beautiful of East Texas cabin lives.
The outside of the log home is like a delightful tune of woods and light visually. The strong, hand-hewn logs get to be a deep brown, their natural grain catching the golden rays of the Texas sun. The gabled roof, fitted with durable shingles, slopes gracefully to let away the water, while huge covered porches hug the house, thus giving shaded sanctuaries on different sides. Get the picture of you gently rocking on the front porch while birds come and go among the trees, or having summer barbecues at your back porch with the aroma of grilled steaks filling the air.
Downspouts maintain the home in a good shape while an outside storage shed gives room for tools, kayaks, or seasonal decor. Large windows break the log walls, thus offering unobstructed views of the wooded lot- oaks and pines giving privacy and the feeling that you are in your own little forest. The cabin is still proud of its 0.41-acre piece of land, with a gently sloping yard perfect for planting, playing, or just taking in the calmness of nature.
Enter the cabin you want to be in a different world. The living area with an open plan design is very inviting with it has wide-plank hardwood floors that are very shiny, a very high vaulted ceiling with the beams showing and the very nice and warm sounding of a wood-burning stove set into a metal fireplace surround in the living room. This, the major part of the house, a very large meeting place for family movie nights, holiday celebrations, or quiet evenings with a good book, is absolutely the center. Sunlight comes into the living room through a lot of windows, thus lightening the rich texture of the log walls and forming a warm and inviting glow.
The living room is very close to the kitchen designed for a chef where custom wood cabinetry, a big pantry, and new appliances make cooking very enjoyable. Thereby, a big island with sitting becomes the center for informal meals, and also, one can be sure to be always connected if he so wishes as high-speed internet and cable TV are also there.
The four bedrooms at the cabin are also very comfortable and flexible in term of use by the family, guests, or as home offices. The master suite is very quiet and comfortable, and it is equipped with a king-sized bed located next to the log walls, a very big walk-in closet for lots of storage, and a full bathroom with modern fixtures which is very convenient to the suite. The three other bedrooms are also of a good size, and each has big windows which look out on the green stuff outside and they are provided with enough closet space. A second full bathroom is there to serve these rooms and guests with style and convenience.
Heating through central electric keeps the cabin warm in winter, and thus, the wood stove may be used as a source of heat and also as a complement to a lovely atmosphere on cold nights. In the whole interior, there are some very nice things such as the readiness for cable TV, the availability of high-speed internet, and a layout that makes it easy to move from one room to another, all these are some of the few things that combine the rustic feeling with contemporary ways of life.
The spot of this cabin does not only depict the beauty in its architecture but also the correlation with the earth. The 0.41-acre lot is a very private and quiet place which is well shaded and private due to the mature trees, and also, there are open spaces for a fire pit, a hammock, or a small garden. Not far from Cedar Creek Lake, this cabin is very well situated to activities such as boating, fishing, or just watching the sunsets by the lake. The covered porches are there beyond the house to serve you outdoors, from rain or sun, while keeping you connected with nature. Be it that you are taking your coffee while the dew is refreshing the grass or looking at the stars from the porch on a clear Texas night, this cabin has the power to make every moment feel like they are special. The storage shed is there just to add practicality, thus ensuring that the gear for lake-side adventures or yard work is always at your hand.
Being a product of the year 1989, the cabin reflects an era of true craftsmanship—thick log walls for natural insulation, quality construction that has stood the test of time, and a design that ages gracefully. The wood stove located in the living room is not just a heating appliance; rather, it is a centerpiece that supports the coming together, storytelling, and the simple delight of enjoying the fire’s light. Availability of high-speed internet and cable TV makes it possible for you to work from home; at the same time, you can stream your favorite shows or stay in touch with friends and relatives who are far away.
