About This Home
Thoughtfully updated with comfort and function in mind, this beautifully renovated home
provides a calm and peaceful space to enjoy entertaining or the quiet contentment of
the breathtaking views of the lake and fairways of the 8th and 9th holes of Highlands
Falls Golf Course.
This spacious and charming home demonstrates one-level living at its best. Its warm
and inviting open concept living space features custom milled ship lap walls in the main
living areas and carefully selected paint colors, encouraging relaxation and calmness.
Antique barnwood trim in several rooms, including the kitchen coffee bar, add to the
charm and uniqueness of the home.
The serene primary suite boasts two spacious walk-in closets and heated tile floors in
the ensuite bath.
Two charming guest rooms, each with its’ own ensuite bathroom, are thoughtfully
located on the opposite wing, providing privacy and seclusion for visitors. There is a
powder room in the guest hall as a convenience for company.
An additional space, currently used as an office, has 25-foot ceilings and barnwood
beams. This spacious room would make an excellent family room with plenty of room
for seating/television viewing, with lots of room left for game tables or even a Murphy
bed for additional sleeping space. This room has its own bathroom and shower. The
laundry area is accessed from this room as well as additional storage closets.
The house has multiple places for entertaining or seating where adults and children can
be separated but still together. The massive windows in the sunroom and the expansive
deck provide excellent lake and golf course views. Watch the golfers from the comfort of
your own deck.
There is an attached oversized two-car garage opening into the office/family room
providing easy access in inclement weather. The lower level provides golf cart storage
as well as additional climate-controlled storage in an encapsulated space.
The outdoor firepit area provides enjoyment on chilly evenings. There is room for the
gardener to create an oasis or for pets to enjoy some outdoor space.
This fully updated mountain retreat is a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. Just a
two-minute golf cart ride from the Highlands Falls clubhouse, swimming pool, croquet
courts, and fitness center, you can enjoy lunch, dinner and a game of bridge or mahjong
any time you want. Since you are just outside the Highlands Falls gates, you pay a
much-reduced fee as HOA
