1690 Twin Lakes Dr, Highlands, NC 28741

Owners built this home with an architect to allow them to enjoy their interests in cooking and entertaining. The kitchen is large with a number of stations, and there are plenty of outdoor areas for showing off the efforts. There are two bedrooms with separate baths on the upper level, and on the main level is the master bedroom with en suite library/den/fireplace and huge master bath with heated tiles. There is a wood burning fireplace in the large living area with multiple seating arrangements for large or small groups to relax and enjoy. The almost 10 acres surrounding the home includes gardens which are in bloom all season long - another personal interest of the owners. The home is light/bright with one side almost all glass to take in the fantastic mountain view. It's a cozy, comfortable home in the winter months and open and airy during the milder seasons. Year round views of Chimney Top, Big and Little Terrapin add to the total package. There are two lakes to swim in, dive off the dock, fish and boat, along with a party structure complete with fire pit, grape arbor and plenty of room for outdoor games. Or enjoy your own firepit in the back yard making S'mores. Pets haven't been forgotten here either - this home even has a dog wash area in the garage for use during the colder months. There are also 2.5 acres on either side of the home that could be split off or could easily accommodate a guest house. This unique home is located in an area allowing for plenty of privacy, yet is only about 15 minutes from dining and shopping in both Highlands and Cashiers. You need to see this amazing property for yourself!
