A Classic Joe Webb Cabin

Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2017/07 - July

Combining the best elements of yesteryear with our desires for ultimate style and comfort this updated Joe Webb log cabin is “just right” for the homeowner who seeks to be surrounded by nature within walking distance to downtown Highlands.  Cool summer mornings may find you on the screen porch gently waking as you sip your coffee.  The fragrance of rhododendron and mountain laurel is carried by the gentle breezes that stir the tall trees surrounding your home.  

 Listen to the sounds of nature – bird song serenades and the scampering of tiny feet on the forest floor as wildlife scampers about.  Meander down the path to the gentle stream or venture out to the gazebo-perfect for reflective thinking or a nap on a slow summer afternoon.        

Builder Joe Webb is well-known for the homes he constructed throughout the Plateau during the 1930’s.  He might do a double-take as he strolls this updated beauty.  The large logs and the laurel rails carry historic charm as they blend with the 21st century amenities of a modern kitchen and a private bath for each bedroom, central heat, and air-conditioning.  Wide plank floors meld gently with tile baths and granite kitchen counters to offer a tantalizing charm.  With a careful eye for style and utility, the hand-picked furnishings ensure maximum comfort in the well-laid out floor plan.  With one bedroom suite down and two upstairs, there is comfort and privacy for all in this
updated beauty.  

For the avid outdoorsman who seeks to spend days capturing all that nature has to offer, this home welcomes you.  Just minutes away from the Kelsey Trail or Sunset Rock, you can be on the Trail and be lost in nature’s beauty before you know it.  Trek out Bowery Road or down to Horse Cove in just minutes. 

For the person who prefers to embrace the many cultural and shopping opportunities that the area has to offer, this home sends out the siren call.  You are just a few short blocks away from Main Street Highlands and all that it has to offer.  Stroll the campus of The Bascom with its Pottery Barn and numerous art exhibits, take in a performance at the PAC or the Highlands Playhouse or enhance your knowledge with a class at CLE.  Or maybe you prefer to read a book or knit.  Your home nestled in the woods surrounds you in nature while being convenient and comfortable – whatever you choose.  

As the evening sun drifts slowly behind the distant peaks, settle in on the wide wrap around porch to review the day’s events.  Enjoy the sizzle of dinner on the grill or the anticipation of making s’mores around the fire pit with your grandchildren.  The tensions of the hectic week in the city are a distant memory.
