Out back, your private retreat awaits! Relax on the covered composite deck as wildlife wanders by, enjoy spectacular sunset reflections dancing across the lake, or simply soak in the peaceful waterfront setting. Additional highlights include a new roof (2025), underground pet fence, and impeccable curb appeal at the back of a cul-de-sac. Offering the perfect balance of serene lakefront living and convenient access to Highland’s parks, shops, restaurants, and commuter routes. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle.
