Balsam Heights! If you are looking for space, peace and tranquility, then this unique, rustic and rambling home is for you. It is nestled like a tree house in a lovely quiet area with fantastic sounds of a rushing creek. This home has loads of character, with three floors of living space, a two car garage, a fabulous work shop and two other unfinished areas that just need a purpose. There may be a possibility of turning the workshop over the garage into extra living space. There are two brand new mini splits on each floor and two huge decks on the second and third. The huge stone, wood burning fireplace is fabulous and has intriguing history attached.
