***STRICT NO PET POLICY***
Nestled on a spacious 3/4 acre lot, this mountain cabin is the perfect mountain getaway! Bring the kids to run free in the fenced in private backyard, explore the wooded walking path on the property or take a quiet stroll down the hidden neighborhood lanes. The expansive open deck is a great place to soak up the afternoon sun with friends, while relaxing to the sounds of nature in a lush backyard filled of native trees, rhododendron and blankets of moss throughout. Just a short walk to Apple Lake, where you are offered full access; this home is the perfect setting for a romantic getaway or a weekend away with family or friends. Whatever you are coming to Highlands for, Heaven in the Hills is sure to be the place you come back to time and time again.
As you enter the property, you are surrounded by a beautifully landscaped rhododendron and mature growth forest. The driveway offers ample parking as well as a carport for those rainy days. Stepping inside the home, you are greeted by warm wood accents, vaulted ceilings, post and beam architecture, and large sun filled windows. The main level offers an open kitchen, dining and living room with casual and open entertainment. Updated quartz counter tops & back splash and deep farm sink are just a few of the great features of the renovated kitchen. Relax at a cozy breakfast table overlooking the deck and yard with seating for 2, or the main dining table which offers an additional seating for 6. The sliding glass doors off of the dining area allow access to the deck, outdoor dining area and grill.
With the light and bright master suite on the main level, this is a perfect getaway for 2 with one-level living or for small family adventure with the guest room on the upper level. The renovated master suite bath has a walk-in shower with a glass block wall allowing ample natural sunlight in. With high-end finishes and chic decor, the master suite is sure to impress.
The upstairs loft area is furnished with a Boho style daybed. This area is furnished with a flat screen TV and some of the families favorite board games making this the best kids area or hang out space. The upstairs also houses the guest suite offering 2 Twin beds and another full bath lined with custom stone tile work and freshly painted ship-lap ceilings.
Other home delights include full laundry area, cable TV, wireless internet and a wood burning stove to take away the chill on a cool fall eve. You are located just a few minutes walk to Apple Lake and the Old Edwards Inn Half Mile Farm property, as well as a short 5 minute drive to Main Street Highlands.
