Located in the heart of Highlands, NC and perched at an elevation of 3,773 feet, this charming furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage is the perfect blend of vintage character and modern comfort. Originally built in 1945, the home has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining its cozy mountain appeal. The layout includes a main-level primary suite, hardwood and ceramic tile flooring, and a functional kitchen/living combo that makes the most of every inch. The finished, heated lower level with a separate entrance includes a second bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or a private in-law suite. Modern upgrades include mini-split systems for heating and cooling, insulated windows and doors, propane heating, and a newer electric water heater. Outside, enjoy the private back deck and lower terrace surrounded by mountain air and mature trees. A lower garden trail leads to a cozy firepit, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The home's elevated position provides privacy and seasonal charm, and it's just minutes from the lively downtown of Highlands with its renowned restaurants, shops, and entertainment. This has been a very successful vacation rental in the past.
