There's a version of "recently renovated" that means fresh paint and new cabinet hardware. And then there's this — a thoughtfully reimagined single-level home where the brand-new kitchen, updated primary bathroom, and refinished bedrooms sit alongside original slate floors that have been here long enough to earn their place, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Whiteside Mountain like the owners knew exactly what they were doing when they positioned them.
They did. And it shows in every room.
A Home That Actually Lives Like One The open, single-level layout means the living room, dining area, and kitchen flow into each other the way they should — no awkward transitions, no wasted space, no stairs between you and anything you need. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living and dining areas keep Whiteside Mountain in view from the moment you sit down to the moment you get up, flooding the spaces with natural light and the kind of visual calm that makes the whole house feel larger and quieter than it is.
The oversized primary bedroom takes the concept of a sitting area seriously — a separate space for reading, unwinding, or simply enjoying the distant mountain views without leaving the room. Every bedroom, along with the living room, comes dressed in plush linens, pillows, and blankets chosen by owners who actually wanted guests to feel comfortable rather than just adequately housed. The difference is noticeable within the first hour.
Outside: Three Spaces, One Seamless Experience Step through the back door and the outdoor sequence unfolds naturally. A stone patio with a firepit and gas grill handles the evenings — casual cookouts, post-dinner fires, the kind of night that stretches longer than planned because nobody wants to go inside. The patio connects directly to a screened-in porch furnished with comfortable seating for the whole group and anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that makes the space genuinely usable from early spring through late fall. Sheltered, warm, surrounded by the sounds of the mountain — this is the room that ends up in every guest review.
The fenced yard means the dog came on the right trip. Let them loose. Everyone relaxes more when the dog is happy.
A Note From the Owners The people who own this home come here every chance they get. They renovated it to feel like a home away from home — not a rental, not a product, but a place where someone actually thought about what it feels like to walk through the door after a long drive and just exhale. That intention is woven into every updated detail and every original slate floor tile they chose to keep.
They fell in love with Highlands. They're hoping you will too.
Downtown Highlands is minutes away — restaurants worth the trip, shops worth browsing, waterfalls worth the hike, and a town that has a way of slowing people down in the best possible sense. Come for a few days. Leave already thinking about when you can come back.
