Cozy chalet just a few minutes drive to Main Street, Highlands, NC. Wonderful retreat for weekends, year round living, or use this as a guest house to your existing Highlands home. Located with walking distance to Highlands Country Club. As soon as you enter the twiggy gates flanked by a beautiful stone wall, you'll know you're in a magical place. The paved driveway will hold two behind the gates, and there is more parking carved out on the road side for extra guests. The main level has the great room with vaulted ceilings with comfortable seating areas and dining area with a gas log wood stove. The kitchen is compact and includes a pantry. The main level also has a bedroom and one full bath. The upper level has another bedroom and the second full bath. There is a wrap-a-round deck which allows easy access to the living area. The covered back porch is where you will spend all your time 8-9 months of the year, and offers a wood burning fireplace with gas starter, dining and seating areas, and a ceiling fan for warmer days. There is a one car detached garage with opener and storage. The property is lush with native plants such as rhododendrons, mountain laurel and ferns and as been landscaped with other plantings as well. There are paths to walk on and explore, and the birding in Highlands is amazing. There is a small pond that is near the covered porch, a porch swing underneath an arbor, a little deck/treehouse in the woods, and a wet weather stream that goes into the pond and trickles over the large landscaping rocks. This is a magical place-one you won't want to miss. Contact us for more information. Oh, and don't worry about spending a lot of time moving- this home is being sold furnished and is move-in ready.
