Description
Perched high on Little Bear Pen mountain only 1.5 miles from Main Street, this spacious mountain home is the perfect place to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of an award winning town. Relax on the recently expanded deck or within the screened porch as you gaze toward Shortoff mountain and enjoy cool mountain breezes gently flowing. The home's main level has everything you need, including an expansive great room with soaring ceiling, wet bar, wood burning stone fireplace, oversized eat-in kitchen, dining room, laundry, power room, two car garage, office, and an owner's ensuite. An open stairway leads you to the upper level with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an additional bonus sleeping quarter, and an artist studio with its own storage area. The home has a generously large level grass front yard with beautiful laurel wood fence along its road frontage and between the circular drives' entrances. The property is filled with towering trees, rhododendron, and native plants. Highlands was named "America's Best Small Mountain Town" last year by Travel and Leisure Magazine, and from this property, you're close to everything it has to offer. If you are interested in trails, the nearby Kelsey Trail connects you to the Highlands Biological Center, surrounding neighborhoods, as well as downtown. Only a few minutes away is the new Highlands Performing Arts Center, which provides live and streamed performances, and The Bascom visual arts center with its year-round art classes and exhibitions. The shopping and dining in Highlands are phenomenal and has been recognized with awards and many "Top 10" lists from best small-town shopping to signature special events to several restaurants on the coveted Wine Spectator award list. Don't miss the opportunity to make this exceptional Highlands home your own!
