At the entrance to Highgate, 594 Highgate Road offers a composed Highlands cottage shaped by wood, stone, and the quiet texture of the surrounding canopy. Set on 0.43 acres, the two-story residence carries a cottage/Craftsman sensibility, with wood siding, stone veneer, a shingled roofline, and an easy relationship to the sloping land. The home is located near Mountain Laurel Tennis and minutes from Main Street Highlands, giving it a grounded sense of place while keeping the tone distinctly residential and tucked within its natural setting.
Inside, the main level gathers daily spaces around an open living, dining, and kitchen arrangement. A stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room and introduces the material language that continues throughout the home. Wood, tile, and carpet flooring define the interiors, while ceiling fans, generous windows, and warm wood accents add to the cottage character. The primary bedroom and an additional bedroom are positioned on the main level, with the primary suite opening to a private covered balcony. The kitchen includes built-in electric oven, range, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, and dryer, with the oven and refrigerator noted as recently replaced.
The lower level adds a third bedroom, full bath, and additional living space, creating separation across two floors. Outdoors, the rear porch, balcony, and covered gazebo offer layered places to take in the cool Highlands air beneath the trees. Parking is available on two levels, with the main entrance approached from the upper level. With 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, approximately 2001–2500 heated square feet, community water, private sewer, cable internet, and a setting close to town, this Highgate cottage invites a closer look through Landmark Realty Group.
