The perfect family residence in the heart of Mirror Lake, Big Creek, and Lake Sequoyah provides access to all three bodies of water. The home has been meticulously maintained, comes fully furnished, upgrades everywhere, and beautifully decorated with designer finishes. Offering well-balanced living both inside and outside, there are large family, media, 2 fireplace settings, and privacy space on all three levels. The expansive main level floor plan includes a Chef's Kitchen, full utility room/pantry, separated dining area, and powder room; yet all of it flows together so you're never too far from the action. Custom accordion doors flank the stone fireplace open to the great outdoors and full length decking providing outdoor living-dining-lounging at it's very best. The Master Bedroom is on the main floor, and there are four well separated Guest Suites, two upstairs and two downstairs including a "bunk room" which accommodates both toddlers, and Mom's & Dad. Every sleeping space has a private bathroom. In addition, a lower level wine room and kitchenette/bar adjoin the media room/living area and opens up conveniently to the outdoor fireplace and spa-style hot-tub/jacuzzi! Plenty of parking for parties including the two-car (you can eat off the floor) garage with direct access from your car to the kitchen. Added features include a brand new generator, a Workshop/Storage room where all the mechanical systems are dry and enclosed; plus a separate "Guest House to be", future "She Shed", Custom Play Room, or Art Studio/Project. Rarely does a property avail itself with something for everyone. Set your goal to be here for Thanksgiving. Highlands, NC...come for the weekend, stay for a lifetime.
