VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS!! This custom built cabin sitting on 3.6 acres (3 lots) with 300 feet of brow in Mentone is a rare find. This cabin, known by locals as "Toothacres", was built by Dr. James Malcolm Brewer (a dentist who practiced in Fort Payne for 53 years), and has been enjoyed by family for four generations. Everything about the cabin is unique. It was built primarily from materials gathered in Mentone and Valley Head. With three bedrooms and three baths (one full and two 1/2), two massive fireplaces (one on the front porch and one in the family room), almost 1000sf of screened porches. and perhaps the best view in Mentone, this cabin is a piece of history waiting on you to enjoy!
