    Minutes from downtown Highlands, this two-bedroom home offers convenient access to the plateau with the benefit of being outside town limits. The property provides flexibility for use as a personal residence, rental, or investment. A screened front porch leads into a dining area that opens to the living room with a wood-burning fireplace and large glass doors showcasing mountain views. The kitchen is located just off the hall and includes ample counter space and a stand-up bar connected to the dining room. Further down the hallway are the laundry room and pantry. The primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and a large window framing mountain views. The second bedroom is across the hall with natural light from a wide window, and a second full bathroom is conveniently located beside it. From the living room, double doors open to the back deck, where the property’s elevated position offers a peaceful setting with tree-filtered views and privacy at the edge of the backyard. This one won’t last—schedule your showing!
