From the private courtyard, you enter into the foyer/dining area that invitingly flows into the main living area which features a vaulted ceiling and original stone fireplace. The cozy kitchen has been updated to preserve its vintage charm while providing all of the modern amenities you need. Hickory Hill features two (2) large lower level bedrooms with updated ensuite bathrooms and a large upper level sleeping loft. A screened porch and an open grilling deck along the back of the house provide several options from which to enjoy the view of Mirror Lake. This home is being offered exquisitely furnished and appointed for turn-key use. Hickory Hill offers potential use and enjoyment as a private mountain retreat and/or as an income property.
