Some homes are more than just walls and a roof, they're where summers were spent, memories were made, and mountain air meant it was time to slow down and relax. This one-level home in the heart of Highlands is exactly that kind of place, offering good bones, a great location, and a real opportunity to make it your own.
The home has character to spare with warm wood walls and ceilings throughout the main living areas which give it a true mountain-cabin feel, stonework on the exterior, a stone fireplace on the front porch, and a backyard water feature with stone hardscaping that add rustic charm, inside and out.
The one-level layout (with just two steps down to the primary suite) offers easy, low-maintenance living. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, while two additional guest bedrooms share a second bathroom.
Just a short distance from town and the Highlands Greenway, this home is ready for its next chapter. Bring your vision and make it your own mountain retreat.
