Stroll down to the waters edge and place your kayak or tube in what is reportedly the second oldest river in the world, with gentle and slow moving water just begging to be enjoyed. Home is set up currently to be a rental powerhouse, with a 3/3 in the main home and an adjacent efficiency apartment with complete kitchen and laundry! Main residence has soaring T&G ceilings throughout the open kitchen, dining, and living area that steps directly out to a covered porch overlooking the river. Kitchen has granite tops, tile backsplash, SS gas range with hood, and farm sink. Hall bath has a tub shower and washer/dryer just across from the third bedroom, with bedrooms one and two host to their own ensuite baths. Primary suite steps out to its own private open deck to enjoy the sun and listen to the sounds of the river as it ebbs and flows on by. Enormous attic space is not counted in square footage but lends itself to ample storage or finish it out for a play room or home office. Home boasts a pull under design with two concrete pads for parking and was designed and built by a lifelong resident of the Outer Banks, so even in Helene no flood waters breached the house! Over 1.3 acres of almost level land lends itself to gardens, orchards, or play space for pets, children, and adults alike. Endless possibilities whether you live in the home and rent the efficiency, use it all personally, or rent it to two different parties. All of this an easy 20 minute paved drive from either Boone or West Jefferson for all of the amenities, adventure, dining, and breweries that the area is known for. Whether looking for a full-time residence with sites and sounds of the river, a part-time getaway that you can rent when you are not enjoying, or a full-blown investment property, you will not want to miss this one! Schedule a tour and come and see today! Seller preferred the patina of the naturally weathered cedar, but is open to discussing a credit towards exterior paint or stain should the Buyer prefer.
