About This Home

As of June 2026

Located on almost an acre of privacy, this 5BR/4.5BA home in the desirable neighborhood of Highgate awaits a fresh new start. On the Atlanta side of Highlands, Highgate is minutes from the town and convenient to Highlands Country Club and the Mountain Laurel Tennis Club. The main level features an ample kitchen space with a bay window and dining area which opens to a great room with a gas log stone fireplace. Lots of windows and sliding glass doors make the space light and airy. The living area overlooks a covered deck with long range mountain views including a winter view of Whiteside Mountain. The deck is open on either side and fronts the main bedroom with bath and walk-in closet as well as a large guest room and bath. The laundry room and attached garage complete the main level. On the lower level are 3 more bedrooms, 2.5 baths and another deck for guests. One of the bedrooms would be perfect for a second living space with a day bed for overflow. The home has a perfect layout for residents and guests alike, offering privacy and plenty of room. For those who enjoy walking, the neighborhood of Highgate is mostly level and is perfect for that activity.
