She Lives In An A-Frame Home That’s Woodsy Yet Chic And Only Cost A Total Of $83,000
If you ever wished you could escape into nature, but the idea of living in a traditional log cabin doesn’t seem appealing, there’s a way for you to blend the nostalgia of a cabin in the woods with a sleek, modern aesthetic.
That’s right, you don’t have to give up architectural sophistication in order to embrace a simpler, slower-going lifestyle. The A-frame house has captured the attention of both homeowners and architects alike.
With its distinctive triangular shape and large windows, an A-frame house exudes a unique style that isn’t really seen in the housing market.
The trendy, cutting-edge design elements infused with the quaint charm of its rustic interiors allow you to have the best of both worlds.
TikToker Summer Ginther (@summerginther) lives in southern Illinois, and she’s showing off her A-frame house, citing it as the most affordable home she’s ever lived in.
In November of 2021, she bought a home built in 1974 and spent a year making pretty big changes to it, along with a few smaller tweaks to incorporate some of her own personality.
She paid a total of $83,000 for her A-frame home and spent $40,000 for the home makeover, using a home renovation loan. The monthly mortgage payment for the house is $480.
Originally, the cabin had three bedrooms, but she had one of the upstairs bedrooms removed to create the vaulted ceiling that is characteristic of A-frame houses.
That left the master bedroom and one other bedroom available. In the kitchen, a pink refrigerator and colorful wall tiles were added.

The bathroom had a black and white tiled floor, and the walls were painted pink. There was also an extra room located on the lower level of the house that she uses as a laundry room and workout area. Upstairs, there is a balcony area that doubles as an office space.
Summer states that the house feels open and airy, receiving lots of natural light. She also shared her excitement about how she was able to create her dream home and enjoy the stunning views of the greenery surrounding the area.
So, if you’re looking to get off the grid, whether it’s for a quick vacation or for good, an A-frame house may be the perfect budget-friendly solution.
