About this home

Old Highlands and Cashiers charm radiates from this great home. Well located between Highlands and Cashiers, close to MountainTop and Old Edwards Club, the home sits on a property that is very level yet has a good mountain view. The wrap-around front veranda is so inviting and the perfect spot for morning coffee and a good book. This quiet spot welcomes you to a cozy den with a wood-burning fireplace. There are three lovely guest rooms on the upper level perfectly suited for maximum privacy. The kitchen is updated with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Open to the great room, the family chef is never out of the conversation. The large great room has a wall of windows and a vaulted ceiling with gleaming hardwood floors. Plenty of room in this area for everyone to gather around the beautiful floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The owner's suite is spacious and features "his and her" deluxe baths and "his and her" closets. This room opens to the screened porch as well as an office. Above the oversized two-car garage is another guest suite with a small balcony. Whiteside Estates is a small gated community with easy access to dining, shopping, theater, and great outdoor activities.
