Nestled in the historic mountain retreat community of Balsam boasting beautiful mountain views, this classic cabin has been lovingly remodeled with high attention to detail. Refinished and new flooring, knotty Alder cabinetry and marble tops, stainless appliances, new lighting fixtures, fully renovated baths with custom tile on main provide a perfect blend of rustic elegance. The mini-spilt ductless heat pump in addition to the propane stove beat the heat in summer months and so cozy on those winter nights. A separate lower level, also fully remodeled, offer a family room and full bedroom and bath- a great space for guests or rental potential! The cabins covered wrap porches are the ideal space to enjoy the peace and serenity that is Balsam. Curl up with a book on the porch corner or swing your cares away. Located centrally between the quaint towns of Sylva and Waynesville, your options for shopping and dining abound. Excellent proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Great Smokies NP.
