About this home
Wow! Talk about Old Highlands Charm!! This adorable cottage is oozing with charm, sits well back from the road on a beautifully landscaped lot covered with moss and rhododendrons. It has been lovingly cared for over the years and includes an additional lot plus a strip of deeded land across the street on Lake Sequoyah with a dock for fishing or launching a canoe. The master is on the main and has a second adjacent full bath so the owners could have his and her baths. In addition to the beautiful living room with stone fireplace, there is a wonderful sun room on the front which is great for entertaining. In the back of the home there are terraced gardens with multiple seating areas plus a couple of sheds, perfect for storing outdoor equipment or toys. Upstairs are two cozy bedrooms with a shared bath which provide a perfect set up for a family with young children or a good reason for guests not to overstay their welcome.
