MOVE IN READY BY CHRISTMAS 2023! Great in-town location with new construction to be built by Sanctuary Developers, Futral Construction and Summit Architecture. Amazing new, gated community on the corner of 1st Street and Oak. These homes exude the best of mountain modern design, embrace the mountain lifestyle, and the desire for upscale living. The houses being planned for the Highlands neighborhood, Sanctuary on First, epitomize Sanctuary Developers' goal of making sure that the homeowner feels cocooned, protected, and pampered in their own home. This 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath home is built in the popular transitional farmhouse style - traditional while offering a sleek, updated feel. The layout includes a main floor master bedroom, three fireplaces, and an enclosed sun room that is accessible from the great room. Upstairs are three large bedrooms with ensuite baths. The flex room on the top floor could work well as an office, or as an additional room to be used by guests. For guests who want additional privacy, there is a finished carriage house above the garage with its own full bath along with a kitchenette. Black metal-framed windows, sleek light fixtures, ceiling fans, black steel railings, and white ship lap walls and ceilings create a clean, comfortable, and modern vibe throughout the home. The fire pit areas add to the outdoor living space. A standing seam metal roof tops off the house. This stunning home will be located just one minute from Main Street. Plans for an exclusive, small neighborhood of similar high-end homes are underway. Be one of the first to recognize the rare opportunity to own a brand new home in the heart of downtown Highlands, North Carolina!
