Finally, a property designed with a creative touch, live-ability, and nature all rolled into one! Nestled on just over half an acre within the gated community of Highlands Falls Country Club, this beautifully updated four-bedroom, three-bath mountain retreat offers the perfect balance of timeless character and contemporary comfort. Surrounded by mature hardwoods, the home welcomes you through a charming stone courtyard framed by antique French doors, creating an unforgettable first impression. Thoughtful recent upgrades—including a new standing seam metal roof, new gutters, and updated windows—enhance both the home's appeal and long-term value. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the main level features an airy, open floor plan centered around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Expansive windows flood the home with natural light while remote-controlled shades provide effortless privacy. Multiple seating areas create inviting spaces to gather, and the dining area flows seamlessly onto the upper deck for indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is thoughtfully positioned to remain connected to the main living spaces while maintaining its own sense of function and privacy. The main-level primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a spacious ensuite bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking jetted tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms share a full bath, while two additional loft areas offer exceptional flexibility for a home office, reading nook, media room, exercise space, or studio. The lower level is ideal for hosting family and friends, offering a second living area anchored by another stone fireplace, a kitchenette, an additional guest suite with a full bath, and direct access to the lower deck, where a queen-sized swing bed invites you to relax among the trees. Memberships to Highlands Falls Country Club are not required, but applications are available. Enjoy an added benefit, an ability to rent short-term (2X per month) offers excellent income potential. As you can see, this property offers exceptional versatility as a full-time residence, seasonal mountain escape, or investment opportunity. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Highlands, you'll enjoy easy access to the area's celebrated dining, shopping, hiking trails, and outdoor recreation.
