The spacious kitchen features a large island and granite countertops, perfect for entertaining, while the finished basement adds even more room to gather. Bamboo hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, and a stone fireplace bring warmth and character throughout. Alpine siding and trim complete the home's mountain craftsman feel. This three-bedroom, three-bathroom home also offers an attached one-car garage with workshop and a detached two-and-a-half-car garage with additional storage — plenty of room for vehicles, gear, and projects. Step outside to expansive covered and open decks surrounded by peaceful mountain scenery. Tucked away on Hickory Ridge Road, a unique residential neighborhood (not a subdivision) with no through traffic and no deed restrictions, this quiet, private setting is one where neighbors know one another. The neighborhood has easy-to-navigate roads, plenty of green space, and cooler mountain air that makes it easy to unwind. Scaly Mountain sits on the Atlanta side of Highlands, putting you close to a wealth of outdoor pursuits, fine dining, and award-winning vineyards. Sky Valley Country Club, Highlands Outpost, and Highlands Aerial Park are all within 4 miles. You're approximately 15 minutes to Highlands, NC for upscale shopping, dining, and cultural events, and about 20 minutes to Clayton, GA, known for its charming downtown and restaurants. Whether you're looking for a vacation retreat or a full-time mountain residence, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, craftsmanship, and location.
