About This Home
Priced BELOW tax value = instant equity opportunity you don’t want to miss.
Why buy one when you can get two units for the price of one?
Welcome to a Jeffrey Dungan Low Country XL-designed mountain Tiny cottage where views of Whiteside Mountain don’t get any better. This is the kind of setting people chase in the mountains—and rarely find paired with this level of design and versatility.
Located in the Gated Community of The Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs. The upper level lives like a modern designer home, featuring Summit appliances, quartz countertops, Delta fixtures, and 7” oak hardwood flooring. Soaring cathedral ceilings and 270° panoramic views flood the space with natural light through expansive Ply Gem energy-efficient windows and French doors. Both bedrooms accommodates a king bed, includes full-height closet storage, and a built-in desk. Plus, enjoy your private deck just outside your Main floor Bedroom.
