Description

Creekside Charm in a Peaceful Mountain Setting. Escape to tranquility in this utterly charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom creekside cottage, perfectly blending vintage character with thoughtful updates. Tucked away in a serene location between Balsam and Sylva, just down the road from the Historic Balsam Mountain Inn, this home offers a true mountain sanctuary. Step inside to discover a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The farmhouse kitchen is a true delight, centered around a vintage stove/oven that perfectly captures the home's unique character. The dining room soars with beautiful wooden cathedral ceilings, creating an airy and rustic feel. Continue into the living room, where a coastal-inspired palette meets the warmth of a gas log fireplace, making it the ideal spot for relaxation. The charm extends outdoors, where the home boasts a new copper metal roof installed in 2025 with LeafGuard Gutter System—adding both beauty and longevity. Enjoy your morning coffee on the freshly painted private porch off the primary suite. The property features an enchanting stone patio complete with a firepit, surrounded by lush flowers and greenery, perfect for outdoor entertaining. A defining feature of this parcel is the gentle stream flowing below, surrounding the lower level of the property and offering the soothing sounds of water—a constant reminder of the calm, peaceful atmosphere. Essential mountain living is provided by shared spring water. New 40 gallon water heater, Whole House Water Filter and UV Light Filtration System, New Pressure Tank and Switch, New Jet Pump - All installed in 2025. Experience the best of Western North Carolina living in this idyllic, character-filled cottage!
