Charming cottage on Big Creek which joins the larger part of Lake Sequoyah at the bridge near The Verandah. Enjoy a relaxing afternoon of kayaking or canoeing on the lake from your private dock. Located in the convenient Webbmont area of Highlands, this 3BR, 3 1/2 bath house was originally built in 1910 so it exhibits old Highlands charm, yet it has been updated several times to allow for today's comforts. The main floor features a bedroom, private bath and half bath for guests. The living room offers a wood burning, stone fireplace and overlooks the water feature, bocci court and path down to the lake. The dining room opens from the living room and adjoins the kitchen with distressed cabinets. Perhaps the best part of the house is the screened porch with a woodburning fireplace for cool evenings which leads to an open deck and steps to the ground level and path to the lake. The second level has a bedroom suite with sitting room and private bath. The third level has another private bedroom and bath for guests. You are minutes from town but far from the hustle and bustle of activity. A wonderful retreat awaits you and your guests.
