About This Home

As of January 2020

First time on the market in highly sought after Highlands Country Club. Outstanding long range view situated on approximately 2 acres at the end of a cul de sac. Could be a tear-down or a huge remodeling project. Three bedrooms are situated on one level with baths. The great room with a masonry, stone, wood burning fireplace and vaulted ceilings lead to a large deck. It is partially covered and offers excellent views. The property allows the owner to trim the foliage to maintain the views. A two car garage is located on the lower level along with a bonus area and lots of storage. Drive your own golf cart to all Club activities. Close to downtown Highlands with its many shopping boutiques and fine dining restaurants. Highlands also features the Bascom Gallery, the Performing Arts Center, the Highlands Playhouse and a city owned ice skating ring. Highlands Country Club is on the Atlanta side of Highlands.
