The short gravel drive through the woods definitely drops your blood pressure. Then immediately as you enter the residence, it really grabs you! That's because "Highlands Character" abounds throughout the entire cottage/cabin with wood finishes, vaults, and beams. There are multiple views long-range toward Blue Valley from most of the rooms. The overall layout and footprint says "bring the whole family for Thanksgiving" thanks to a family room, kitchen, & wood-burning fireplace serving as Grand Central Station, and these areas immediately transition to the surrounding outdoor decks which create the perfect indoor/outdoor living balance. A master-bedroom on the main level and "viewing" side of the residence stands alone, and there's three Guest Suites on the lower level for privacy. The three separate indoor living areas are unique and allow for your entire crew to watch a football game in one, and a good movie in the other without overlap. Two of the three have large wood-burning fireplaces. For you investment-minded Buyers, this property will make an excellent vacation rental if you're so inclined, and is located just outside the Town of Highlands boundary. They say "location is everything", and this one is close to town (5-7 minutes), close to Glen Falls (5 minutes), and close to Highlands Country Club (5 minutes). In the end, the perfect destination for a full time resident, vacation home, or rental investment. On your mark, get set, GO! Start living the "Highlands Dream" right away!
