Laurel Retreat - Tucked into the trees, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat offers privacy, character, and comfort. Set on a double .69-acre wooded lot with frontage on Lakeside Drive East, Coon Den Road, and Laurel Lane, the property offers seasonal lake views, mature trees, stone paths, fenced outdoor space, and a firepit area for evenings outdoors. Inside, the home has a bright cottage feel with newly refinished wood floors, crisp white finishes, and large windows framing the greenery. A stone fireplace anchors the living room, while the window-lined sitting/sunroom creates a place to relax or enjoy views through the trees. The dining area flows into a light-filled kitchen with white cabinetry, subway tile, stainless appliances, open shelving, and a skylight. Two bedrooms and a clean full bath complete the single-level layout. Outside a basement with concrete floor includes a washer / dryer and a circular drive provides parking and boat storage. The home is within a short distance of a community beach and boat docks, making it easy to enjoy the lake lifestyle whenever the mood strikes. Ownership in Highland Lakes includes access to five private lakes, seven sandy beaches, and activities including sailing, racquet sports, hiking, fishing, swimming, art, music, and play groups. Mountain Creek is a short drive away for winter recreation. Meticulously maintained and ready to enjoy, this is a rare opportunity to experience the best of Highland Lakes living.
