Ideally just over half a mile from downtown Banner Elk, this fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bath cottage blends in-town convenience with mountain serenity. The residence is moments from Lees-McRae College and within close reach of Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain. Boone is also just a short drive away, making this location exceptionally central to the High Country’s top destinations. Recently remodeled, the home offers single-level living with easy, flat access from a paved road and ample on-site parking. A covered front porch provides the ideal place to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting, enhanced by the soothing sounds of a creek just across the road. The interior features a spacious living room, updated kitchen and baths, formal dining area, sunroom or office, and main-level laundry. Upstairs, a cozy sleeping loft and small game area provide additional flexibility. (Note: Upper-level space is not included in the total square footage due to ceiling height requirements.) The home is being sold furnished, with few exceptions. The fenced flat yard includes a detached storage building, making this an excellent option for a primary residence, second home or short-term rental opportunity. Agent notes: There are approximately 1,460 square feet, 180 square feet on lower level, encompassing the kitchen and dining area, that does not have a direct heat source and is not included in the total heated square footage. Additionally, the 386-square-foot second floor is also excluded from the total square footage due to ceiling height. Subject to Vacation Rental Act, rented through Blue Ridge Rentals.
