The Two-Bedroom Modern Large Cabin home is ideal for a small family or as a vacation house. It has a large master bedroom suite with walk-in closet and ensuite bath. The second bedroom can be used as a guest bedroom or children's room, and the additional office room can be converted into a small bedroom. The plan focuses on the southern exposure views and lights. The living and dining rooms are one ample open space with two large glass sliders on each side. Both glass sliders function as floor-to-ceiling windows and bring the outdoor landscape into the interior. The L-shape kitchen provides long counter space for cooking enthusiasts, and the central island is the perfect location for family and friends to gather while they prepare the holiday dinner together.
