Description
Step into this enchanting and elegant English Cottage, where the soothing melody of a meandering stream is both seen and heard from the expansive covered porch. Here, you can enjoy the warmth of an outdoor fireplace on chilly nights, surrounded by towering hardwood trees painted in shades of golden and red, their colors mirrored in the tranquil waters below. The raised beds and garden spaces have been professionally landscaped to include perennial flowers, bulbs, berries, apple and pear trees as well as an established asparagus, providing you with an endless array of fresh blooms for delightful bouquets to share with friends. Nestled within a gated enclave, this sanctuary offers unmatched privacy for nature enthusiasts seeking serenity and solitude, all while being a mere 5-minute drive to Highlands bustling Main Street. The primary bedroom on the main floor pampers you with a generously sized, updated bathroom for your utmost comfort. The Viking-equipped kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, featuring quartzite countertops and a spacious island perfect for preparing meals, sipping cocktails, or engaging in lively conversations with the resident chef. Upstairs, a cozy den/sitting area invites you to dive into a good book or simply unwind, while the guest suite beckons with a luxurious bath, and a charming four-bed bunk room is sure to delight. For those who prefer to work from the comfort of their own abode, a light and bright home office stands ready to accommodate your needs. Should you yearn for a taste of the town's vibrancy, a quick drive takes you to downtown, where you can relish award-winning dining experiences, explore boutique shops, attend concerts in the park, catch performances at the PAC center, or embark on a nature adventure with only a half-mile jaunt from home to the magnificent Glen Falls. Come and revel in the pinnacle of mountain living – come home to Highlands. You will love this home and our town!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLots of disrespectful teachers, principal and everyone is more worried about your phone dropping out of your pocket and what the girls are wearing then if you get a quality education. I honestly cannot say anything good about this school except for about 5 teachers out of a lot. Librarian tells kids to shut up and yelled at us every time we went to get books. Kids sells lots of vapes and some weird stuff went down in the bathrooms that I can’t put online. WAYYY too concerned about girls clothes…it’s one thing if you’re wearing booty shorts but you would wear shorts that cover everything, and you have to change. PE favorites are always who is the best at the sports they play for them, not who actually tries. Only the curvy girls get dress codes btw, if you’re flat apparently they don’t care. A lockdown while I was there, lots of fights, kids making threats and posting about guns, etc. Crappy school.Other Review11mo ago - Macon Early College High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOddly, MVI has for the last couple of years had a policy of no homework. This doesn't seem like a good strategy for a school that is performing poorly in standardized tests in all subject areas. Additionally, it fails to prepare students who will be entering the middle school across the street where homework is given and expected to be completed. Another step in the wrong direction this year was the removal of grouping by academic level. Mixing all levels together in classes results in teachers having to teach to the middle in classes of mixed abilities and fails to help both students at the higher and lower ends of the spectrum.Parent Review6mo ago
