Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

This fully renovated mountain retreat blends elegance and comfort, with 3,200 sf of seamless single-level living. Just a two-minute golf cart ride from the Highlands Falls clubhouse, swimming pool, croquet courts, and a fitness center, you can enjoy lunch, dinner, and a game of bridge or mahjong any time you want. Since you are just outside the Highlands Falls gates, you pay a much-reduced HOA fee. From the expansive deck, you will enjoy panoramic views of the lake and the 8th and 9th holes of Highlands Falls golf course with Big Bearpen Mountain in the background. Totally updated with comfort and function in mind, this beautifully renovated home lets you enjoy one-level living at its best. The spacious open-concept living space combines charm and warmth with mountain chic. It features custom-milled shiplap walls in the main living areas and antique barnwood trim in several rooms, including the kitchen and coffee bar, adding to the home's charm and uniqueness. The primary suite boasts two spacious walk-in closets and heated tile floors in the ensuite bath. The bath includes a large shower, a beautiful granite-topped double sink vanity, and a private water closet. Two charming guest rooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, are thoughtfully located on the opposite wing, providing privacy and seclusion for visitors. A powder room in the guest hall adds convenience for guests. A spacious family room currently serves as an office for the owner's accounting business. This room could be used as a family entertainment room, or easily converted into an en suite bedroom. Renderings of the bedroom and the family entertainment room are in the photo section. Laundry and additional storage are also located here. The house has multiple areas for entertaining or seating, where adults and children can be separated yet still together. The massive windows in the sunroom, most of which are screened, create the feel of a screened-in porch, making the room a true four-season area. The cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace is inviting in the fall and winter. An attached oversized two-car garage opens into the family room, providing easy access in inclement weather. The heated and cooled lower level provides golf cart storage and additional climate-controlled storage in an encapsulated space. The outdoor fire pit area provides enjoyment on chilly evenings.
