About this home

Enjoy Spectacular Sunsets from this recently renovated home with amazing long-range mountain views from the porch & most rooms inside this house. This home is private & sits on 3.17+/- acres of land in a very nice subdivision on the Atlanta side of Highlands & is only 15 minutes to downtown. The home sits at an elevation of over 3200 ft. allowing for cooler days in the summer. This 3BR/3 bath spacious home has all the BR's on the main floor, an open concept & a full basement that includes a family room with a wet bar, an office/craft room, or an additional sleeping area with a full bath + a big unfinished area with a garage door, great for a workshop or storage. This house has had a lot of recent improvements including a new 2-car detached garage, a new metal roof, an added on front and back porch roofs, new CH & A, siding & stainless steel appliances & paved driveway to name a few. It comes partly furnished so it would make a terrific Vacation rental. This place has easy access that is almost paved to the home & offers a true escape from the stresses of modern life. If you are craving peace & quiet, a mountain view home in WNC this will deliver it beautifully.
