Own this delightful Highlands intown and one-level-living mountain cottage! It is perfect as a private residence or continued as a highly successful short-term-rental investment property. Awash in natural light, heart of pine floors, and multiple entertainment spaces, the home has been immaculately maintained and epitomizes a heavenly Highlands’ mountain lifestyle. Enjoy sitting by the large crackling outdoor fire pit or on the spacious screened porch designed for laid-back evenings and dining al fresco. Each of the three bedrooms has access to a full bathroom. The gourmet eat-in kitchen, with a live edge natural wood breakfast bar, is well positioned between the den and living room, each having a cozy gas-log fireplace. The whole-house generator ensures you’ll never be left in the dark, no matter the weather. As a bonus, the home is being offered partially furnished, enabling its immediate use. Parking is plentiful with spaces in both the front and back driveways, with entrances coming from Franklin road and Holt Knob road respectfully.

Moreover, the home’s intown location enables one to quickly travel to multiple scenic highlights like Highlands’ Greenway Trail, Satulah Mountain and Sunset Rock. Your mountain escape awaits!
