A well-loved family home just outside town limits that offers a large kitchen, three bedrooms on the main level, and a neat loft area that can be used for anything you can imagine. The unfinished walkout basement can be accessed from the interior and is great for storage or a hobby area. Flat and very usable yard would be perfect for pets or a garden. Located near Samaritan's Purse, Watauga Medical Center, Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian State University, & all that Boone has to offer. Would make a great full-time residence or rental investment.
