Rare Highlands opportunity offering Mirror Lake views, a walkable location, historic charm, thoughtful updates, and income potential. This special property includes a warm and inviting main home, a separate duplex, a large fenced patio, and flexible use for extended family, guests, or investment. Once known as “Cricket’s Corner” a charming B & B, the home still carries a wonderful sense of hospitality and story.

The main home offers approximately 2,005 sq.ft. w/ 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Filled with natural light, the great room features numerous windows overlooking Mirror Lake, creating a peaceful and welcoming gathering space. The dining room comfortably seats 8 to 10, making it ideal for holidays, dinner parties, and relaxed mountain weekends. Upstairs offers additional living space including a sofa and trundle bed, along with a guest bedroom and full bath.

The home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its Highlands character. Improvements include updated HVAC, electrical, tankless water heater, generator, fresh interior and exterior paint, new quartz countertops in the kitchen and two baths, and new KitchenAid appliances, including gas range, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The home is being sold furnished with a few exceptions, offering an easy transition for personal use or rental potential.

Outdoor living is a true highlight. The large fenced patio & beautiful grounds provide an incredible setting for entertaining, dining outdoors, pets, morning coffee, evening wine, or simply enjoying the cool Highlands air and view of Mirror Lake.

Adding tremendous value is the separate duplex, built in 1952, with two 1-bedroom, 1-bath units of approximately 900 sq. ft. each. The upper unit has been recently refreshed with new kitchen cabinets, quartz countertops, appliances, full-size stackable washer and dryer, updated lighting and fans, faucets, a toilet, fresh paint, new furnishings, new HVAC, & a covered porch with beautiful lake views. The lower unit is leased month-to-month to a long-term tenant, providing existing income.

Zoned R-2 with city water and public sewer, the property allows a minimum 30-day rental term in accordance with local zoning. Whether used as a private mountain retreat, multi-generational getaway, guest quarters, furnished rental opportunity, or long-term investment, this property offers a compelling combination of location, lake views, charm, flexibility, and income potential near the heart of Highlands.
