Sitting steps from sandy Locarno Beach, this luxury log home is worth making a trip for, with vaulted ceilings, a stunning stone hearth fireplace, and a piano plus karaoke machine indoors. Wood finishings and stone floors throughout create a rustic charm that feels like an upscale, remote cabin far from civilization, but the location will say otherwise, with easy access to the beach, tree-lined trails, cultural sites, and downtown shopping. With three bedrooms (two queens and a king), two large decks, a spacious dining room, two bright and cozy living rooms, and an upstairs loft, there’s plenty of space for everyone.
