Built in 1966 on the original caretaker's lot, this charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath artist’s retreat sits in the peaceful Cold Springs community, just 4 miles from Main Street, Highlands. Refinished narrow-plank hardwood floors, abundant mountain light, and a beautifully renovated kitchen with granite countertops, tile backsplash, new cabinetry, and stainless appliances (2020) create a warm, inviting interior. The full bath was also remodeled in 2020 with granite vanity, tile flooring, and a frameless glass shower/tub. A separate laundry/storage room includes a washer and dryer.
Lifetime vinyl windows (2002) enhance efficiency and natural light, while the unfinished garage offers ideal space for a studio or workshop. Rhododendrons and a pollinator garden provide privacy and charm.
With fiber optic internet, a Generac generator, state-maintained road access, and a level circular driveway, this nearly 4,000-foot elevation property blends serenity with reliability—perfect as a vacation rental, investment, or full-time mountain home.
Well maintained over the years, updates include a well pump (2005), LP gas furnace (2009), metal roof and interior paint (2014), exterior paint with oversized gutters and guards (2018), and a recently replaced hot water heater
