What happens when a mountain cabin grows up? It becomes a magical showplace that retains the charm of the cabin while incorporating upscale spaces for the owner, a kitchen that would delight any cook, and lush landscaped grounds on almost two and a half acres. Located in Rhododendron Trail within an easy walk to Main Street in Highlands, the property is fenced on all sides to accommodate your furry friends. Its idyllic setting is enhanced by a tranquil lake, perfect for honing one's casting skills or simply basking in the serenity of a quiet afternoon. For those who prefer land-based pursuits, a charming pitch and putt three-hole golf practice area awaits, beckoning avid golfers to refine their skills. Meanwhile, green-thumbed enthusiasts will delight in the meticulously landscaped gardens enveloping the home, offering a sanctuary for contemplation and cultivation alike. During cool mountain evenings, a fire pit transforms into a magical haven for stargazing. The interior of this enchanting home exudes warmth and sophistication, featuring a luminous primary suite complete with a sun-drenched sunroom, a lavishly appointed bathroom, an expansive walk-in closet, and a private screened porch. Additionally, an office space adorned with a cedar closet and a convenient half bath cater to the practical needs of everyday living. Entertaining is effortless in the connected living and dining areas, flowing onto a screened porch and deck with a hot tub and grilling area. Upstairs, two cozy bedrooms with private baths and a play area await. The lower level offers a guest retreat with outside access, a family/game room, and ample storage in the two-car garage that is connected by a covered breezeway. Don't miss this wonderful home that balances practicality with charm.
