About this home

Beautiful home only 25 minutes to Boone! Hear the sounds of the rushing creek across the road from this home and its covered porches on the main and upper level. Hardwood floors throughout the living area, kitchen, dining room, and main floor bedroom. Kitchen boasts SS appliances and plenty of cabinet space. Bonus room, laundry, full bath with shower, and attached one car garage are also on the main. Upstairs is a large den area, another full bath, and two more bedrooms. Upstairs bedroom has private access to its own covered balcony overlooking the creek. Flat yard in the back lends itself well to a fire pit or play area, while being on an overall low maintenance lot. This is a great full time or vacation home within close proximity to all of the High Country attractions. No restrictions also lend itself to either short or long term rentals. Gas fireplace on the main level adds to that cozy feel that everyone dreams of in their mountain home. Come see today before it is gone!
