Few condos in the region offer a front-row view of a landmark waterfall - and this one delivers it from nearly every room. Toxaway Falls thunders across a dramatic multi-cascade drop directly outside, with Gorges State Park preserving the opposite bank in perpetuity, ensuring the view remains unchanged regardless of what develops around it. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit is configured for easy main-level access with no interior stairs and an open floor plan that moves naturally from the living area through the dining space and into the kitchen. A fireplace anchors the living room, and sliding doors open to a covered back porch - the best seat in the house for watching the falls shift through the seasons. The primary suite shares the same porch access and the same views. Natural light carries through the unit; leave the doors open and the sound of the falls carries through. All three bedrooms are well-proportioned, with good closet storage throughout. The two full bathrooms are functional and well-positioned for the layout. The unit is sold fully furnished and turn-key ready, with a documented vacation rental history. Toxaway Falls community amenities include a pool and trails, while the fantastic shopping and dining of Highlands, Cashiers, and Brevard are just a short drive away.
