This totally renovated mountain retreat is a perfect blend of 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 8 th and 9 th 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. There is a powder room in the guest hall for guests' convenience. A spacious family room, currently used as an office, has 25-foot ceilings and barnwood beams. This room could be used as a game room or TV viewing area. Additional sleeping space could be added with a Murphy bed if desired. It could also function as a separate suite, since it has its own bathroom with a shower. 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, can give the feeling 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. There is an attached oversized two-car garage opening 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 firepit area provides enjoyment on chilly evenings.
