This historic home was the original Gragg House built in the late 1910s-early 1920s. This home has a TON of character & has been exceptionally maintained throughout the years. The original spring house is now used as a mudroom/laundry area/canning room & still boasts the original trough from the spring used years ago. This is just one example of the many unique & historical features of the home. The home is 4 beds/2 baths & just under 3000 sq ft. There are 2 living areas, 1 with a wood stove, built in cabinetry & access to the beautiful-natural lit sunroom. The other living room has gas logs & accesses the large covered porch. A formal dining room is off the kitchen. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, tile countertops & lots of charm! There is also a full bath on the main level. All 4 bedrooms are upstairs as well as a full bath. Wood floors almost throughout the entire home, gorgeous bead boarding, tons of natural light, loads of storage space, greenhouse, 2 outbuildings, gardening area, plenty of parking, and short distance to downtown Boone are all things to love.
