An address on Main Street in Highlands is a rare offering. With a beautifully appointed three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath apartment and two commercial spaces, one currently used as an office, this property brings together the charm of downtown living and the versatility of a mixed-use investment. Currently operated as a short-term rental, the professionally decorated apartment offers an inviting retreat in the heart of town. A welcoming living area and well-appointed kitchen create a comfortable setting for leisurely mornings and evenings spent together after a day in the mountains. Each of the three bedrooms features a king-size bed and its own bath, providing thoughtful accommodations for owners and guests alike. The primary suite, located off the kitchen, includes an ensuite bath with a European-style step-in shower and separate tub. A second main-level bedroom offers an ensuite bath with a step-in shower and a small private balcony. Upstairs, a spacious loft bedroom, partially open to the level below by way of the stairwell, includes a king bed, a queen Murphy bed and a full bath with a shower-tub combination. An additional half bath adds convenience. Just outside, Main Street invites an easy rhythm of browsing boutiques, lingering over lunch and walking to dinner at one of Highlands’ celebrated restaurants. The Highlands Biological Station and Nature Center and the trail to Sunset Rock offer nearby opportunities to experience the natural beauty that makes this mountain town so special. With two additional commercial spaces complementing the apartment, 488 Main Street offers several possibilities for personal enjoyment, rental use and business occupancy - all at a coveted downtown Highlands​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌ address.
