Adorable & affordable mountain cottage with easy year round access & high speed internet! Great starter home or mountain getaway only 20 minutes to Boone. Lots of love & work has gone into this 1950's bungalow. The main level has the cutest kitchen & dining room, nice bead board walls & tongue & groove ceilings. There is a small bedroom off the living room that is currently being used as an office and the upstairs is a spacious bedroom with lots of natural light. The basement is a great addition for a 3rd sleeping space or bonus room! Great outdoor space with expansive open decking, a nice yard (although easily maintainable) and a large storage building. You won't find anything cuter at this price!!
