Step onto the oversized covered porch of this classic 1920 colonial, coffee in hand, and take in the peaceful views of the meadow beyond. This home is all about blending historic character with everyday comfort, and it starts right from that inviting front porch. Out back, you’ll find a charming bluestone patio that’s perfect for summer barbecues, laid-back evenings, or just unwinding in your own private backyard retreat.

Inside, the home opens up to a world of possibilities. With a total of 14 rooms spread over three levels, you’ve got all the space you need to create your dream setup. Sure, there are four cozy bedrooms, but beyond that, you can let your imagination run wild.

Think a craft room, a yoga or Pilates studio, a home office, or a hobby space—there's room for it all. This home has only changed hands once before, making it a truly rare opportunity to own a piece of Highland’s history.
And let’s not forget the detached garage with its own cottage space. Whether you envision it as a guest cottage, a creative studio, or just an extra spot for whatever suits your lifestyle, there's plenty of potential to make it your own.

In short, this is more than just a house—it's a unique chance to create your own upstate haven in a home that’s brimming with character and ready for its next chapter.

Effortless Elegance: The Perfect Gutters for a Classic Home
And let’s talk about a detail that’s both practical and beautiful: the brand-new, six-inch black half-round gutters.
These aren’t just any gutters; they’re designed to match the classic aesthetic of the home while making your life easier. Unlike the traditional K-shaped gutters that trap leaves and debris, these half-round gutters practically clean themselves. The smooth, curved shape and oversized downspouts let leaves wash right out, meaning less maintenance and more time to enjoy your beautiful home. It’s just one more way this house is built to make life a little easier and a lot more elegant.
A Foundation Built to Last: The Strength Beneath the Charm

Of course, no good house is complete without a solid foundation, and this home stands on one that’s truly built to last. Basements and foundations are often where deals fall apart, but not here. This house rests on a robust stone foundation that’s as sturdy as they come, giving you peace of mind and a home that’s truly built for the long haul.
