Wonderful location for this beautifully updated 4BR/2BA home overlooking the Watauga River. Sit on the rocking chair covered porch that runs the length of the home and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Watauga River running below, complete with an access point right below the home. Outside, the home has been beautifully updated with new log siding, tongue & groove wood and ceiling fans above the front porch, and a new, enlarged parking area. Inside the home, enjoy a completely remodeled and updated kitchen over looking an open Great Room with wood floors and stone fireplace with gas logs. A breakfast bar with pendant lights overhead separates the two spaces. Fresh paint throughout. This home is ideal for vacation or full-time enjoyment with easy access and great location overlooking the river, yet just minutes from Boone.
