This is the idyllic cottage everyone lingers for in the mountains! This meticulously maintained, move-in ready 3BR/2BA cottage is perfectly sited on a gently sloping, low maintenance landscape, accentuated by blooms from daylilies, hydrangeas and lush hostas, that absorbs the cool mountain breezes and sounds of nature from its fabulous and serene wrap around screened porch. French doors lead from the porch to an inviting open living area that boasts a vaulted ceiling, stone fireplace, kitchen and dining area. Two ample guest bedrooms share a bath and offer privacy from each other. The oversized master suite area upstairs features a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling, bath, desk/home office area and bonus room that would be a perfect place for a small library or reading area. Winter mountain views to enjoy during the cold months spent snuggling up to a cracking fire in the living area. An appealing location, only a few short minutes to downtown Highlands and so close world class hiking at Glen Falls! This is southern mountain living at its best!
