Welcome to 828 Tarleton Circle, a quintessential Boone cottage. This charming home is just minutes from the hospital, downtown Boone, Appalachian State University, highways 421 and 321, Blowing Rock, as well as numerous shops, dining spots and grocery stores. In need of a little love and care, this two-bedroom, two-bath mountain escape has great potential as your next investment property, vacation home, or full-time residence. In a previous life, it had a short-term rental history, making it an option for those looking to invest in the High Country. From the front porch, take in the peaceful mountain setting and enjoy all the natural beauty the area has to offer. Go inside to find a welcoming great room that flows into the open kitchen and dining area. The covered back deck provides a relaxing retreat among the trees. A hallway leads to both bedrooms and includes a convenient laundry closet. The primary bedroom features an en-suite bath and closet, while the guest bedroom has its closet and direct access to the full guest bath. Outdoors, a babbling branch adds to the serene atmosphere, while large boulder outcroppings provide a natural backdrop for a potential fire pit area. Recent maintenance includes a septic tank pump in August 2024. Disclosure items include the fact the roof needs replacement, the guest bath vanity may need repair, the crawlspace may need dehumidification and radon mitigation, and there is evidence of past carpenter bee activity. This sweet Boone cottage is full of potential!
