Updated 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with a well-established rental history nestled between Boone and Blowing Rock. It has been used as a long and short-term rental simultaneously, grossing over $4,000/month. The new metal roof, paint, siding, updated Airbnb, added bonus room in the basement, encapsulated crawl space, etc. make this a must-see home. Three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs sit at two ends of the house between an open concept living, dining, and kitchen area. You can take a set of stairs by the kitchen down to another sleeping/office/bonus room. The side yard has a built-in playground and a grassy area with another deck. The front driveway and yard are flat and there is plenty of parking for the upstairs and downstairs spaces. The homeowner added a shed for wood storage to the left of the house. You can come in the house through the side of the deck into a mud/laundry room. The basement has been fully updated for a short-term rental that has done well over the past year. It would work perfectly as a long-term as well. Do not miss out on this versatile place. THE SELLERS ARE CALLING FOR HIGHEST AND BEST BY SUNDAY 7/18 AT 5PM.
