About This Home

As of February 2022

A must-see Contemporary design with solid curb appeal & protected parking near front door. Seller's say..."bring us an offer, we're motivated!" A customized remodel and expansion of the property occurred in 2001, and includes top-of-the-line appliances in a Chef's Kitchen replete with a sunlit breakfast area. You do not find this style of home in Highlands readily. Enter to wide open-ness, incredible light, flow, and accessibility from kitchen-to-family room-to porch-to indoor/outdoor dining. Owners report many great parties and entertaining on the covered porch, replete with wet bar and serving area. Escape to the lofted office above main living area. Large main floor Master, with expanded closet and galley style Master Bath. The views from the back of the house include Lake Sequoia in winter, and just 2 minutes from the canoe/kayak launching/landing ramp. The Lower Level provides 2BR/1BA guest quarters with additional space to lounge, in addition to a sizable workshop. Both levels have outdoor access to connected stairways to decks, patios, an sloped grounds. The 3 rules of real estate..."Location, Location, Location" hold true here. Just minutes from downtown, lakes on 3 sides of the neighborhood, and easy access to Highway 64 leading to almost anywhere. Highlands, NC is a "mecca" in so many ways. The natural beauty and resources in our backyardinclude the best hiking in Western North Carolina, Birding, Fly Fishing, and Sunrises/Sunsets not to be missed. We live in a Temperate Rain Forest, so bring rain gear. When in town enjoy the unique retail shops not found at the local Mall, restaurants where Chefs move here from around the U.S and beyond because they fall in love with Highlands, and of course the lineup of special events that light up the weekends. So come for a weekend, and stay for a lifetime!
