Description
Completely updated 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on 2.55 private acres in the Balsam area, perfectly positioned between Sylva and Waynesville. The property borders 1,250 feet of bold creek frontage with three waterfalls, a beautifully maintained yard, and the kind of natural privacy that's genuinely hard to find. Inside, the renovation was done right. White oak floors throughout, vaulted ceilings with reclaimed beams, main-level primary suite, and a kitchen with a new gas range and refrigerator. Brand new A/C system installed this year. Clean updates from top to bottom. The four-seasons room frames the show-stopping waterfall. The deck extends the living space outside, where the creek stays with you. The property also includes an old barn with rustic character and room for imagination, but do not go inside. The Balsam area makes for easy access to both Sylva and Waynesville. Private enough that you'll forget both exist.
