1857 Overlook Terrace

In the heart of the Highlands...first time on the market in 54 years! Nestled on an idyllic, tree-lined street just steps from a neighborhood park and minutes from all the shops, restaurants, and conveniences the Highlands is known for, this charming bungalow has been lovingly expanded and maintained over the decades. The home offers 4 bedrooms - all upstairs - 2 full baths, and thoughtful improvements including two separate additions or renovations through the decades. The current owners completed an upstairs addition in the 80's, adding 2 additional upstairs bedrooms to complement the original 2, and a full bath, plus a walk-in closet in the hallway, and a second HVAC system to service the upstairs, for supreme comfort in the home year-round. On the main level: The kitchen - featuring painted white cabinets and a full complement of appliances, including a gas range - opens to a cheerful breakfast room, converted from what was originally an exterior side porch. The breakfast room leads to an impressive 18' x 20' covered deck overlooking one of the largest fully fenced yards on the street, ideal for outdoor enjoyment. A welcoming formal dining room, cozy family room (formerly a main-level bedroom with closet), a homey living room with fireplace, and an updated main-floor full bath (custom tiled walk-in shower, new vanity and commode) add even more appeal on this first floor. Wide-plank original hardwood flooring is under carpeting on the main level, the stairwell going upstairs, and in the two original upstairs bedrooms. Additional highlights include the classic Highlands covered front porch with swing, replacement windows throughout the home, a walk-up unfinished basement with laundry and plumbing for a future half bath, and an attached lower-level one-car garage. Recent major mechanical updates include a new main-level HVAC system installed in May 2025 and a (approximately) 1-year-old water heater. This is your once in a half-century opportunity to own a well-loved Highlands classic. You need to put this home on your list!
