About This Home

As of April 2025

Nestled in a quaint in-town neighborhood, just moments from the prestigious Highlands Country Club, this enchanting cottage exudes warmth and character. With stone accents and a beautifully landscaped circular driveway framed by moss-covered boulders, the home is as inviting as it is timeless. Inside, rich hardwood floors, a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, and a striking stone fireplace create a cozy yet elegant ambiance. The open-concept floorplan effortlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, offering a perfect setting for both relaxed living and entertaining. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level, complemented by an adjacent office/library that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom. Upstairs, a spacious ensuite bedroom offers privacy and comfort, while the lower level features a versatile living area, an additional generous ensuite with full bath, bonus room, and powder room, ideal for guests. Recent updates include a new roof (November 2024), a new HVAC system (2023), and a newly upgraded refrigerator, oven, microwave and dishwasher. Outside, a large deck provides an ideal space for grilling and soaking in stunning sunsets. A serene water feature adds to the home’s charm, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. For tennis enthusiasts, an easy stroll leads to the esteemed Mountain Laurel Tennis Club and for those seeking nature, a short drive leads to Glen Falls, for a day of hiking through native flora and fauna. With bustling downtown Highlands only a few minutes’ drive away, this is a perfect location for those desiring both privacy and convenience. Originally built as the personal home of one of Highlands’ most esteemed builders, this property is a rare find that blends exceptional craftsmanship with modern comfort—an opportunity you won’t want to miss!
