Walk to town. Very close to Main Street in Highlands NC. A blast from the past! Old Highlands Charm still lives here. Who knew? This hidden treasure is right under your nose. Tucked away on a pretty, private lot in town. Same owners for last 28 years. Wood floors and ceilings. Stone wood burning fireplace. Bedrooms are roomy and bright for a house of this age. Side entry to house from carport making it easy to unload undercover. The sweet garden shed has an attractive stained glass window and beveled stationary glass adding to it's charm. Covered sitting porch. Low maintenance yard (all moss). Dogwood trees and perennial garden lovingly and well established. It's a real 'home place', right here in town.
