Walk into town for dinner, then come home to a fire on the back deck. Set within the gated Bear Mor community on Big Bear Pen, this home offers a private mountain setting within walking distance of downtown Highlands. Below the house, beautifully landscaped grounds frame a secluded seating patio, a quiet place to enjoy the morning or spend an afternoon with a book. Fourteen-foot ceilings give the great room a generous sense of space, and multi-panel sliding doors open it to the covered deck. With a fireplace, built-in grill, drop-down screens, and vinyl weather coverings, the deck is as inviting for a quiet evening by the fire as it is for dinner with friends. The main kitchen features custom cabinetry, designer lighting, high-end appliances, and a large island where guests can gather. An adjoining dining area keeps everyone close to the conversation, while the newly added back kitchen provides more prep space, additional custom cabinetry, and a large wine refrigerator. The main-level primary suite has multiple walk-in closets and a spa-like bath. The separate office or study is light and bright with a wall of windows and offers a quiet place to work. Upstairs, two guest suites, a shared lounge, and space for a bunk room make it easy to welcome family and friends. A large unfinished area with a partially plumbed bath gives the next owner the option to create another guest suite, a family room, or a home theater. The home is offered partially furnished. Follow the nearby Highlands Greenway to Highlands Biological Lake, meet neighbors at Bear Mor's common-area firepit for sunset, or head into town for a favorite restaurant or an evening out. Highlands Recreational Park is also nearby, with a covered pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a year-round fitness center.
