The living room is vaulted and features a stone fireplace with a view that doesn't quit. Step up to a great room with an additional fireplace plus a large dining area that looks out over the oversized deck. The kitchen is light and bright...The best adjective is WOW! Look at that view – on a clear day you can see forever! Located between Highlands and Cashiers with three bedrooms, the great room opens to a large covered and uncovered deck with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the cool mountain air. The living room is vaulted and features a stone fireplace with a view that doesn't quit. Step up to a great room with an additional fireplace plus a large dining area that looks out over the oversized deck. The kitchen is light and bright with a breakfast bar that can easily seat four. There is even a great view from the kitchen sink! Master on the main has a lovely private bath and there is a good area for a small office with a half bath. The terrace level features a family room which is great for children to play or watch their movies plus a guestroom and an amazing bunk room with four double bunk beds. Don't miss this one as it won't last long. It is rare to get a view of this caliber under one million dollars!
