Some homes have character. This one is built from it. Tucked behind a tree-lined entrance on a private 1.58-acre lot in the Balsam Ridge subdivision, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath true log home looks like it was pulled straight from the pages of a catalog, and quite literally, it was. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and natural wood throughout create warmth and character that cannot be recreated.The main level begins with a spacious kitchen featuring exposed beams and slate countertops before opening into a dramatic great room with vaulted ceilings and a pellet stove. Upstairs, the lofted primary suite is a retreat of its own, featuring an ensuite bath, large walk-in closet, private balcony, and spacious loft overlooking the great room below. Perfect for an office, reading area, or lounge.Need even more space? Above the oversized attached 3-car garage, more than 400 sq. ft. of finished bonus space with separate garage access offers endless possibilities as a game room, office, or hobby room.The walkout lower level opens up even more possibilities with 2 bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, full kitchen, dining area, and living room with a propane fireplace. Currently used as an in-law suite, it offers flexibility for extended family, guests, or potential rental income, along with its own covered outdoor sitting area.Outside, the large wraparound deck is made for relaxing and entertaining, with a sunken hot tub integrated into the outdoor space. Mature trees surround the property, while wild raspberry bushes line the boundaries and add to the natural setting. With only a handful of homes along this quiet dead-end road, the setting feels secluded without being isolated.Located in the Town of Beekmantown and Saranac School District, 11 Laura Drive feels worlds away while remaining an easy drive to Plattsburgh and area amenities. This isn't simply a home with rustic charm; it's a true log home with the space and versatility to make it something truly special.
