A fixer-upper for some, but currently very livable. Nestled in a quiet community in a GREAT location just 6 minutes to downtown Boone, 15 minutes to downtown Blowing Rock, and 20 minutes from Appalachian Ski Mountain! A small stream cascades behind the property and can be heard from the large wrap-around deck. This three-bedroom, three-bath, one-half-bath home offers a bright main living area with a cathedral ceiling and two-story fireplace, adjacent to the kitchen and enclosed sunroom on the main level. Also on the main level, find the primary suite with a walk-in closet and sunroom access, additional bedroom and full bath, and office/bonus room with washer & dryer hookups. Upstairs, find another bedroom and half bath (this level does not have HVAC vents and is counted as unheated space in MLS). The exterior-entry apartment or 2nd living quarters offers an additional living room and kitchen, a suite with a tiled shower, and washer & dryer hookups. A storage shed and two unfinished lower storage rooms offer plenty of additional space. This cottage will make a great year-round home, mountain getaway, or investment property close to all the High Country has to offer! See supplements for full list of disclosures- seller has not occupied the home in several years; property offered 'as-is'. This property awaits the right buyer to bring a little TLC and make it their own!
