Tranquil Mirror Lake Paradise With Large Screened-in Porch!
This charming retreat sits at the top of Hickory Hill Road near Mirror Lake on a gorgeous 1.5-acre piece of property just a mile from the heart of downtown Highlands. The snug interior is a combination of heirloom/folk charm and contemporary amenities, including central air conditioning and furnace, and Smart TV. Also, DVD player, washer/dryer, and a full-sized fireplace with ample dry firewood stored beneath the porch.
The house has three bedrooms – each with its own full bath. The two guest bathrooms were recently fully renovated with walk-in showers. The modern master features a cozy king-size bed, expansive bath, walk-in closet, and its own deck. The dependable kitchen includes a classic stove and range, full-size refrigerator, and all you need to prepare a delicious meal.
The large screened-in back porch is where you will want to spend most of your time, listening to the wind rustle through the trees, hearing the birds sing, and breathing the clear mountain air. Enjoy a glass of wine while preparing steaks on the grill, or follow the path that leads to the secluded pond.
Spring and fall are great times to enjoy the front yard fire pit. Another option is to take a short walk down Hickory Hill to feed the ducks on picturesque Mirror Lake where you might also be inclined to cast a fly rod or cruise the serene waters in a kayak or canoe. Just beyond Mirror Lake is the new Highlands Plateau Greenway trail that will lead you on a scenic hike along a gorgeous nature trail, or directly into town if you are so inclined.
Please put all garbage in large trash bags provided before departure and put in bear-proof trash can outside (make sure latch is secure when closed).
