Nestled into a tree line of deciduous trees and evergreens and perched above a calm and sparkling lake, there is a place so relaxing, it seems like time stands still. A place so beautiful, it seems like nature is shining in all its glory. For Joe and Kathy Brillinger, this is home.
They have always dreamed of living in the country and their dream started to come true in 1990. After purchasing a four acre lot with 116’ feet of lake frontage, "we knew we wanted a log home,” Joe states.
When looking for a manufacturer, Joe and Kathy started with the most obvious choice: a log home company that was close by. But after the company failed to return phone calls, “We went to Beaver Mountain,” Kathy says, recalling the times they saw the model homes while traveling Route 17. “Right away we saw such a difference in their attitude and professionalism,” Joe added. “We totally enjoyed working with them from the get go.”
Working with their Beaver Mountain Sales Consultant Joan Decker and designer John Lanner, Joe and Kathy were able to adapt a stick-built floor plan to a log home floor plan. They chose posted corners to maintain the more contemporary look they desired and added a gabled porch “to provide interest to the front entryway.”
Their solid log white pine Beaver Mountain home was delivered in August of 1999 and built by Bob Kelly. “Beaver Mountain was great with getting his questions answered,” Joe remarked. The house was ready to be moved into in June of 2000....
They love living in their 3,000 square-foot home. “It is very difficult to leave.” An abundance of wildlife keep them company: birds, loons, beavers, deer, and the occasional coyote. Joe and Kathy’s two adult daughters and son-in-law frequently visit as well. “This house brings everyone together,” she comments. The large kitchen and adjoining dining room that lie just steps away from the living room are great for entertaining. Living space extends outdoors with an abundance of decks, porches, and bluestone patios. And they both landscaping: perennial flowerbeds burst with color and rose bushes fill the air with a sweet aroma.
Their dream of life in the country has emerged into a lakeside paradise evolving around the sparkling waters of Chenango Lake and their custom Beaver Mountain home. Sitting at the dining room table adorned with fresh-cut flowers in a pottery vase, Kathy looks out at the view. Mesmerized, she says, “It is absolutely perfect.”
