Charming, dog friendly, conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Highlands.( One mile, 17 minutes along quiet, paved, neighborhood streets) The home features new decking on two sides, allowing you to savor the stunning mountain views from the comfort of high Adirondack chairs. The gated deck adds an extra layer of safety for small children and dogs. Inside, you'll find two bedrooms: one with a king bed and the other with a queen, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms and large flat-screen TVs. Gather in the living area for movie nights, cozy up by the gas log fireplace, or enjoy a variety of board games available for your entertainment. The lovely open floor plan ensures that cooking doesn't take you away from the fun, with a spacious kitchen fully equipped for all your culinary needs and an island with bar seating.

Parking tip:Two cars can be parked at top. One should drive up and back to the spot by the front deck and park. Then second car can drive up and park in front of stairs. There is a parking pad at the bottom before the trash can enclosure for those not comfortable with driving up or parking.
