Description
Rare opportunity, located right across from the Bascom Arts Center and a short walk into Downtown Highlands NC. This 1953 Mid Century Modern Highland's Original has been completely restored to its glory, with a few touches of "Modern Lifestyle". Cable high speed internet, new central heat and air, two new pillow top king size beds, and a full and twin bunk bed sleep 6 comfortably. Beautifully restored Mid Century Modern kitchen complete with 6 burner gas stove. All the bathrooms are super nice, master bath has a claw foot tub to enjoy. This house comes with 2 off street parking spaces and 1 detached garage space (another rare find in Highlands)
This house is part of a complex, including a small shop next-door and a garage apt out back, this rental offer is for the main house only. This complex multi use set up was how it was done in the Highlands in the 1950's and we have tried to maintain the original look and feel. Newly finished so everything is new or original 1950's. We are offering "long term" before we place it in a rental program. Rent is $4250 monthly including electric / internet / water / grounds upkeep 6 month minimum but would consider a better rate for longer term.
