About this House

Wonderful historic property which has been lovingly cared for by the same family since 1945. Beautifully updated and in immaculate condition, the "New England Salt Box" home was expanded in 2002. The gracious circular, stamped and stained driveway is just the beginning of the special attributes which includes a great view of Mirror Lake across the Mirror Lake bridge. A decorative cupola, complete with copper whale weathervane was brought from Nantucket. The 2.28 acres has been professionally designed and is perfect for gardening or just enjoying a stroll to the private dock on Mirror Lake. There are 25 hemlock trees near the house which were treated over the years to protect and preserve them. When the home was renovated, chestnut wood and reclaimed wide heavy timbers were used throughout the home. All of the chestnut cabinets, paneling and wainscoting are reclaimed wood. The original hand-rolled glass pane windows which slide into the walls were preserved wherever possible. Entertaining is a breeze with a large deck and gazebo which overlooks the gardens and the view. A path lined with stones leads to native boulder steps down to a landing and a small dock on Mirror lake with a row boat, canoe and decorative pergola at the lakeshore. The master wing in the rear of the home was an addition and includes a lovely seating area around a gas fireplace, beautiful wood built in bookcases and desk area plus a large walk-in closet and updated bath. Upstairs are three wonderful guest bedrooms, one of which could be a second master suite.
829 Foreman Rd, Highlands, NC 28741 is a 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom, 5,709 sqft single-family home built in 1933. It last sold for $1,295,000 on Dec 7, 2018. This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia. The Trulia Estimate is $3,331,000, with a rent estimate of $5,073/month.

    "It’s beautiful and appears to be a great place to raise a family. I used to come here as a child back in the 70’s with my parents and it’s still as I remember it. Quaint and beautiful. "

  • Rick C.
    "There's no Wal-Mart or fast food joints. Life in the mountains has an easier pace. You are removed from the city, but that's why we live here, to get away from it all. There is a world class spa, fine dining on smaller scale, exquisite shops. Think Breckinridge, without the skiing.Beautiful mountains, hiking, mountain biking, floral life, live music, plays, wineries, what more do you want?"
