Unobstructed views of Satulah Mountain define this extensively renovated retreat in Highlands View, just minutes from downtown Highlands. Set on 3.15 acres bordering U. S. Forest Service land, the property has benefited from substantial clearing, grading, and professional landscaping to enhance the views and expand usable outdoor space. The one-level, split-bedroom layout balances comfortable living with privacy for guests. Light oak luxury vinyl flooring, new drywall and smooth ceilings, Craftsman-style millwork, brass-finish hardware, and fresh paint create a cohesive interior. New Pella windows, several enlarged to welcome more light, pair with custom motorized Belgian flax linen Roman shades. The beautifully appointed kitchen features premium appliances, a French-door oven, marble backsplash, and workstation sink. Living room built-ins complement a fully renovated fireplace with a rebuilt firebox and custom marble surround. An enclosed porch with removable panels opens to the renovated deck, offering inviting spaces to relax and entertain against the mountain backdrop. The expanded primary suite features newly constructed closets, French doors to the deck, and a custom television lift that retracts into the ceiling. The renovated primary bath offers double vanities, a large walk-in shower, and extensive marble finishes. Guest bathrooms have also been fully remodeled. A separate-entry laundry and mudroom adds everyday convenience. Outside, enjoy mountain views from the hot tub, gather around the fire pit, or follow the stone walkway to the included adjoining lot. Fresh exterior paint, upgraded lighting, and new landscape steps complement the grounds. Covered parking, a professional security system, and a large encapsulated walk-in basement with storage and workshop potential complete this thoughtfully renewed mountain home.
