As you drive down the gravel driveway to the porte-cochere, you realize this home is unique and something special awaits. Located within Highlands town limits, in the Brushy Face enclave, it has an incredible rock-face view of Satulah Mountain and long range view into South Carolina. It is a late mid-century "gull-wing" design and the personal home of Dotty Travis, the renowned Atlanta designer. You enter into a foyer that is open to the living/dining room with ceilings that are 16' high with a wall...As you drive down the gravel driveway to the porte-cochere, you realize this home is unique and something special awaits.
