About This Home
As of November 2025Quintessential Highlands Cottage in Desirable Holt Knob Area.
Just minutes from all the shopping, dining, and charm of Highlands, this classic cottage is the perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience. With wonderful curb appeal, the property is surrounded by perennial landscaping, a mostly flat backyard, and meticulous upkeep inside and out.
The main level lives larger than its footprint, with an open floor plan filled with natural light. A vaulted living room with a striking stone fireplace flows seamlessly into the dining area and spacious kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry, a center island with gas cooktop, wall oven/microwave combination, and abundant storage. A convenient half bath for guests is nearby.
From the living area, step out onto an expansive deck—ideal for entertaining, dining al fresco, or simply enjoying the peaceful backyard.
The main-level primary suite offers a large walk-in closet, laundry area, and private bath, creating a true retreat. The lower level provides flexible space with a full bath—perfect for additional sleeping quarters, a home office, or even a workshop.
Lovingly maintained by its current owners for 30 plus years, this home is filled with happy memories and now awaits new owners to create their own Highlands story.
