Description

A Warm Woodland Retreat in the Heart of Highlands

The first moments at this four bedroom, three and a half bathroom home are shaped by stillness, filtered light, and the quiet presence of the surrounding woods. Set within a residential Highlands neighborhood, the property feels calm and grounded, with forest views visible through nearly every window. The atmosphere is immediately welcoming, offering a sense of retreat without feeling removed from town.

Inside, the main living spaces unfold with ease. The living room is centered around comfortable seating and soft light, encouraging conversation and unhurried time together. Nearby, the dining area connects naturally to the kitchen, where generous counters and cabinetry support shared meals and relaxed gatherings. The layout favors flow and comfort, making it easy for multiple activities to coexist.

Bedrooms are arranged to balance privacy and flexibility. The primary king bedroom offers a quiet retreat, while a second king bedroom provides equal comfort for additional guests. A twin bedroom suits children or friends traveling together, and a queen bedroom adds another private option. A bonus room with a day bed introduces extra space for reading, resting, or accommodating overflow without disrupting the main bedrooms.

Outdoor living here is subtle and reflective of the setting. Views into the surrounding trees frame daily routines, from morning coffee to evenings settling in after a day outdoors. The wooded environment provides a natural sense of seclusion that defines the pace of the stay.

Life in Highlands moves gently. Days are shaped by cool mountain air, walks into town, scenic drives, and time spent exploring nearby trails and waterfalls. Returning home brings a consistent sense of calm.

This residence is well suited to guests seeking comfort, nature, and a slower rhythm, whether for family time, quiet reconnection, or seasonal mountain escapes.
The experience closes with the same quiet presence it opens with, as forest light fades and the home settles back into stillness.
