About This Home

As of June 2025

If you desire "ease of living" in Downtown Highlands, don't miss this unique offering where convenience, affordability, and lifestyle come together in a just completed charmer of a cottage. Architect C. Allen Brown designed the floorpan and ACP curated the finishes for maximized "live-ability". Upon entering, the accentuated height of a large vaulted living space which includes 10-foot transom style windows, rustic hand-hewn beam work, and designer lighting. The indoors gracefully transitions outdoors thanks to an oversized screened porch, wood-burning fireplace, vaulted ceilings to match the roof line. The deck enclosure conveniently extended to the primary bedroom. Both outdoor areas border quietude of a lush backyard, custom landscaping, and green area. A Chef's Kitchen with plenty of workspace opens up to the family room. Kitchen appointments include high end GE Cafe Professional Grade appliances, quartz countertops and center island with waterfall edges. The Primary Bedroom includes a generous Bathroom Suite, closet space and plenty of daylight to enjoy a soak in the free standing bathtub. Ascending to the upper level, you're immediately struck by the "Romeo & Juliet" overlook back to the main floor, a focal point of the cottage. The 2nd Floor Primary Guest Suite matches the scale of the main floor primary bedroom thanks to its vaulted ceiling and outdoor balcony overlooking the back yard. A third Guest Suite with private Bath and the lofted "office nook" rounds out the upper level living. Great care and attention was paid to the yard and landscaping. The plantings and rock work were specifically chosen to create solitude, privacy, and green space. Located in the heart of town, enjoy easy access to Highland's Greenway, the Highland's Rec Center, Lower Lake, and the world of Highland's abundant eateries, shops, and amenities. Do not miss this one! Highlands, NC. Come for the Weekend, Stay for a Lifetime!
