Escape to your own Highlands in-town sanctuary and exceptional 1.13 acre lot. A large back yard provides room to establish a garden, a fire-pit, a recreation area, and a run for pooches to zoom. The possibilities are endless. On the screened-in porch, wrap yourself in a blanket and a cool mountain breeze where guests can relax in a swing, chaise, or at the outside dining table. Three bedrooms and three and a half baths is the perfect number of accommodations for this mountain getaway. Moreover, having a full kitchen and fast access to local food stores gives you the option to either quickly prepare a meal or glide to main street in minutes to a table at your favorite restaurant. Hardwood flooring and deep new carpet lies across the floors. The ground level benefits from an Aprilaire de-humidifier tied into the HVAC. Plus a room containing a workbench and storage space is accessed through an exterior door in the back. This is a rare Highlands find that provides the trifecta of residing in-town, having a large level lot, and being move-in-ready!
