A Satulah Masterpiece

Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2018/11 - November

The Satulah Historic District has been a cozy community since the founding of Highlands. 

 Claim your spot in this sought-after enclave so you and your family can enjoy the comfort and charm of this home at 430 Satulah Road.  The original 1935’s home has been artfully renovated with careful attention to retaining its historic charm.  A new roof, HVAC, electric, and plumbing combine with special finishes and design details to provide a distinctive, unique appearance. 

The eagles will have nothing on you.  The view from the home’s large deck captures the beauty of downtown and Whiteside Mountain, plus the distant vistas beyond. 

Imagine you were one of the previous owners (a rocket scientist who followed Sputnik across the U.S.) as you pick out the North Star on clear summer nights.  Kick back on the screen porch or gather for a casual meal safe from the few pesky insects that may want to invade your party.  Don’t be fooled by the vintage chic of the Kitchen cabinetry.  The exterior hinges and vintage handles are reminiscent of yesteryear while everything there is fresh and new. 

 Peruse the Living and Dining Rooms and you might think that you had stepped back in time.  Benches near the front door, vintage sconces, real wood paneling – all reminiscent of earlier times – add to the charm of this cottage.  The youngsters will be at home in their Bunk Room just off the Kitchen, while you kick back in style in the sumptuous Master Suite.  This completes the main floor.

Descend the stairs to the two spacious Guest Suites.  Here your family and friends will enjoy a nod to today’s modern, sleek style. Large windows fill the rooms with light and give you a bird’s-eye view of the mountains beyond.  Enjoy the tall ceilings (made possible by digging out the ground below) and the heated slate floor.  Large Bathrooms include marble counters and walls of glass to give a slightly “hotel-like” feel to this level of your mountain home.  With an outside entrance leading to parking and a patio area, your family and guests will enjoy additional privacy on this level. 

If you have an especially large family or a covey of friends and need more room than is presently available in these four Bedrooms, four Baths, you may want to renovate the Garage Apartment.  It could be a super In-Law Suite, or you can even replace the two-car garage and have a separate Guest House.  There is ample parking on the property.

Experience privacy on this 1.87-acre lot while enjoying the benefits of this most convenient location.  Imagine a short hike to the crest of Satulah Mountain or a jaunt into the heart of Town to enjoy the many shops and restaurants.
