Originally built in 1926, the property has been beautifully updated - inside and out. The main level provides two bedrooms and gorgeous new bath with dual vanity and huge walk-in shower. The open kitchen-living-sunroom floorplan flows effortlessly to outdoor living areas in both the front and rear of the home. Downstairs features a separate entrance, and owner has thoughtfully created living and sleeping flex-spaces along with massive laundry room/half bath. The ample lot (.24 acres) is large enough to accommodate a spacious addition or even separate, new construction, which is a special opportunity in this downtown location. Quintessential Blowing Rock properties with "walk-zone" locations like this are very rare ... especially ones with the possibility of living space expansion and flexibility. Furniture is negotiable and most can convey (if buyer wishes) with acceptable offer.
