About This Home

As of October 2021

There are just a few steps from this charming 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath cottage to the Big Creek extension of Lake Sequoyah. Enjoy an afternoon on the lake in your canoe or kayak or fish from your own private dock. You are minutes from Main Street in Highlands with all the shopping, restaurants and social activities, but away from the hustle and bustle. Once you arrive, you won't want to leave. The property is in the town limits so you have all the amenities that the town provides. The main floor features the master bedroom and bath, and an open kitchen and dining area with granite counter tops. The dining area overlooks the open deck and gives you a treehouse effect. The large living area with a wood burning, stone fireplace opens to the screen porch adjoining the deck for late afternoon refreshments. The lower level is a second living space with another wood burning, stone fireplace, 2 bedrooms with 2 vanities and a shared tub/shower. There is a wet bar and patio area for your guests to enjoy. Steps to the dock and lake are accessible from this patio.
