About This Home

Nestled along scenic Flat Mountain Road, just 3 miles from downtown Highlands, this enchanting 1945 cottage captures the charm of old Highlands while offering modern comfort. Fully renovated in 2020, including an expansive and custom water feature by Extreme Ponds making it a true outdoor paradise. The home seamlessly blends timeless character with thoughtful upgrades. The inviting living room features exposed beamed ceilings, warm hardwood floors, and a natural stone gas fireplace. The beautifully updated kitchen includes custom cabinetry, a copper farmhouse sink, antique Honduran mahogany countertops, and a convenient adjacent laundry area. The spacious primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, distinctive leather flooring, and a king bed, opening to a private bath with double vanity and a sleek tile-and-glass shower. Two additional bedrooms, located on the opposite side for privacy, share an updated Jack-and-Jill bath with an antique vanity and copper sink. One bedroom includes a queen bed, while the other features a queen Murphy bed and antique desk. Set on nearly one acre, the outdoor spaces create a true mountain retreat. A rocking-chair front porch overlooks a charming fountain, while the rear screened porch enjoys views of the backyard, fire pit, barn, and chicken coop. A winding path leads to a whimsical shed and hidden cellar. Evenings are best spent around the fire pit, listening to a gentle waterfall flowing into a pond near the barn. The barn itself offers endless enjoyment—from basketball to games and a loft retreat with TV and a premium Tornado foosball table. Professionally landscaped grounds and mature trees enhance the property’s natural beauty. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, the home includes a stocked kitchen, outdoor grill, washer and dryer, Level 2 EV charger, and multiple smart TVs. With minimal steps, excellent cell service, and a state-maintained road, accessibility is effortless. A proven rental history with no rental restrictions makes this a rare and compelling Highlands offering.
