With Whiteside Cove in the foreground, the main living area looks out on the cliff-face of Whiteside Mountain, tree-covered Blackrock Mountain and a panorama of mountains and valleys. There is one bedroom and one bath on the main level,. The great room features a dining area, partially open kitchen and living area with tremendous views from almost all directions. The upper level has two bedrooms, one bath and laundry room. One of the upper bedrooms is called the Tree Room because it allows you to see into the living room below or out into the view beyond. The open deck is large enough for small dinner parties. This home is full of character and rustic features like the large wood beams remind that you are in the mountains. The living area has a stone wood burning fireplace, and if the power were to go out, there's a wood stove there as well. The attic may have pull down stairway access, but it has been used like another sleeping area on occasion. The lower level can be finished off for more living space such as a family room, office or overflow. Now is your time to own this million-dollar-view for much less. Quiet neighborhood, great walking, within 3 miles miles to downtown Highlands where you'll find restaurants from hamburgers to 4 star dining, clothing stores from T-shirts to furs, churches, library, The Bascom, Recreation Center with a year-round covered pool, Highlands Nature Center and Biological Station, Highlands Playhouse, The Performing Arts Center and lots more. Let Hollingswood be your Highlands beginning.
