3515 Horse Cove Rd, Highlands, NC 28741

Authentic Horse Cove mountain cottage maintains all the original charm & has been updated with high quality modern kitchen, baths & other modern-day conveniences. Horse Cove is a magical Highlands neighborhood located 3 miles/7 mins from the hustle & bustle of Main St. but has maintained a charm that can only be found in a genuine mountain neighborhood that has been developed over decades rather than on a developer's drafting table. This is the real deal! "Folks care about & watch after each other in Horse Cove & we welcome all to become a part of our special place in time" recently said a neighbor when told about the cottage being on the market. This 3 bed/2 bath home has been updated with care to maintain the character of this 1935 cottage. The master bedroom is on main with 2 large bedrooms & a bath upstairs. The kitchen has been completely remodeled & features lovely granite countertops & modern backsplash along with stainless steel appliances all of which complement the original charm of the home. The dining room French doors open leading out onto a side patio for grilling, dining or simply enjoying the cool mountain breezes. The living room, with wood burning fireplace which has been equipped with gas logs, opens to charmingly wonderful original stone floor front porch which begs the homes occupants to come outside & sit a spell on the front porch to enjoy the views of the mountain, listen to the creek across the road or perhaps enjoy the Sunday hymn singing at the Church in the Wildwood right down the road. This kind of charm and character cannot be purchased in a newly developed subdivision which has been labeled a cove. It must be created over decades of afternoons on the front porch with neighbors, Horse Cove picnics, singings & afternoons playing in the snow. This home offers a great rental income history & has resulted in a 4.7 rating on VRBO. The home sits on .46 acres with a fenced level back yard which is great for games on the lawn or gardening.
