The quintessential English cottage located at over 4,100 feet in elevation. This home was the show house many years ago and has been in the care of one owner all these years. The great room has rustic wood floors and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and opens seamlessly to the covered, screened porch where many evenings have been spent with friends in front of the stone fireplace. The owners have created a beautiful water feature on the side of the home to lull your senses. On the main level is an oversized kitchen with a generous island and large eating area in front of a bank of windows. The master on the main boasts "his and her" baths plus "his and her" closets. Upstairs there are three beautiful bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and private baths - just what everyone wants for their family and friends. The terrace level has a one-car garage, two additional guest rooms with baths, a media area and a game room. This cottage is located on the Atlanta side of Highlands with easy year-round access.
