It is very rare for a modern house to offer not only a timelessly handcrafted aspect of its design but also complete freedom of personalization. The 30×50′ 2-story gable with a dual-side porch of 15×21′ that we will use in this blog post is just like another example of that rare combination. This feature shows precisely what attracts so many people to love the SweetCabin approach. This custom home will be built by expert Amish craftsmen at your site and is nothing more but a solid waterproofed shell that you get in your hands and finish the way you want.
What Stands Out About This SweetCabin?
The basic construction delivers high worth for money already at a fair market of about $91,995 plus the cost of transportation. However, SweetCabin’s main advantage is its high adaptability level. This is because the buyers can very easily decide the house shape to suit their life, the plot of land, and their budget as well, which makes customizing much more convenient. This couple really worked hard choosing to do some great customizing that adds both the comfort and character of the cabin:
- Addition of one dormer for increased headroom and light on the upper floor
- Extending to the first floor to the maximum 10-ft wall height (8-ft is the standard)
- Raise wall studs to a wider 16″ oc spacing for stronger house construction
- Upgrade porch posts to 6″x6″ posts
- Come up with a low 90° stair landing rather than conventional stairs
- Additional porch steps together with various personal features
- Pictures and videos of the interior and exterior are added for visualizing the space
All those changes are not made up a rigid product line. You only pay for each job if you decide to do it. That means the changes are priced fairly based on your choice of that individual modification.
Real-World Quality from Every Board
A SweetCabin stick-building done by hand with wood is the most common and best technique. The exterior is built out of kiln-dried 2-inch Eastern White Pine boards hand-sawn and installed in the classic board and batten style. There is a 29-gauge painted metal roof covering that comes with vapor barrier, 5/8″ sheathing, a ventilated ridge. Everything is custom-made on site, nothing is mass-produced or packaged.
If it is a one or two-story house, the crew will come out there after construction to build it at your location in Ohio. All of the cabin is erected in the local area, so nothing has to be transported.
The house will arrive complete with all finishes except windows and door hardware. You choose style, color, size, and placement of windows and doors. You will be allowed to have up to 5 windows of 2 doors at free of charge. If you want to install a 3rd or a 4th standard windows or 2nd standard doors you will have to pay for them separately, each is worth $95. Every 2-story SweetCabin comes either with a complete 2nd floor or a loft, your choice, so you have full flexibility to utilize the upper level in bedrooms, a studio, or as open living space.
Production Process
The interior design of your cabin will be a matter of your personal decision once you are given that cabin. The Amish have done their part by giving you a waterproofed shell, the rest is up to you. Interior work like setting up partitions, running wiring, doing the pipeline, insulation, ventilation, and plastering work will become the domain of your decision. This separation of duties ensures the base price remains low while allowing you to make changes to floors and finishes.
The end product somehow gives the impression of an individually handcrafted cabin rather than one of a hundred clones on sale by some chain store. You step into the building and you already have the solid framework of the house, the protective roof, and you can feel the natural warmth of the wood siding. And every subsequent choice paint colors, flooring, kitchen design it’s you, not the contractor who makes those decisions.
Why People Choose a SweetCabin
Many dreams of getting that cabin come to a halt because a standard new build seems complicated or just simply over-priced. Choosing to go with a fully personalized SweetCabin opens lots of the doors for you. You’ll get clear prices, honest upgrades are offered to you, and the peace of mind you’ll have knowing it is handcrafted piece by piece by Amish men on your property. The wraparound porches are just perfect for your first coffee of the day or evening conversations around the porch fire. The lofty ceilings together with the dormer window give a very spacious impression, something a small cabin just lacks. And besides that because the structure is stick-built rather than being modular, it gets settled in the landscape as if it was always there.
