Nestled directly on the serene shores of Mirror Lake, this rare in-town property is a cherished family retreat, lovingly passed through generations and ready for new owners to make it their own.

With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths in the main home, plus a delightful guest cottage complete with a full bath, there's room for everyone to unwind and enjoy.

The spacious front yard offers room for lawn games, picnics, or quiet morning coffees under the canopy of native hardwoods. A detached 2-car carport provides convenient covered parking. Located just minutes from the vibrant heart of downtown Highlands, you'll enjoy easy access to award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, live theater, art galleries, and seasonal festivals.
