Property Description

There are homes that are decorated, and there are homes that are collected, and this enchanting Mirror Lake cottage is decidedly the latter. Thoughtfully and professionally edited throughout, the residence reflects an effortless sense of style that feels both refined and unmistakably Highlands. Warm, wormy chestnut wood-paneled rooms transition beautifully into light-filled spaces with painted tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, natural textures, and an artful mix of furnishings and artwork gathered with intention; sleek satin pewter and polished nickel door and cabinet hardware from PE Guerin in Greenwich Village, NYC, adds sophistication throughout. Offering one bedroom, two full baths, and versatile flex space, the home has been designed around comfortable, gracious living rather than convention. Intimate gathering areas invite conversation, reading, dining, and quiet afternoons at home, while each room maintains its own distinct character. Offered fully furnished, the cottage provides a rare opportunity to step into a home whose atmosphere has been carefully considered from room to room. Outdoors, a gravel drive leads to mature landscaping, blooming hydrangeas, and charming gravel pathways with stone insets, along with secluded garden spaces that extend the interior's peaceful feel. Located in the sought-after Mirror Lake neighborhood, just minutes from the heart of downtown Highlands, 286 Mirror Lake Road is a beautifully composed mountain retreat that captures the understated elegance and enduring character of Highlands cottage living.
