A large side and back yard with shade trees and native fauna welcome pets to explore and outdoor games to be played on the wide level lawn. From the yard, sounds from the waterfalls cascading over the streams brings peace and joy to family and guests. OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS THE RENTAL HISTORY HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY ACTIVE WITH vacation rentals, 6 months, 4 months, and even for 3 years! New window treatments on the front and back French doors add to the privacy. Floor to ceiling windows grace the wood burning fireplace on either side. In addition a reverse cycle large wall unit warms the downstairs in the winter and cools the downstairs on the warmest days when needed in the summer months. The washer and dryer unit is on the second floor where a full bath, two bedrooms, 3 beds with a second or third set of towels and linens are stored. Great starter home or rental. Call Barbara and come see this well furnished prosperous home at an affordable price. It has its own well and septic tank. The town of Highlands bills for electricity only. Northland Cable has the internet and cable TV service. Cell phones work fine with Verizon; however there are landlines for residential phones.
