On over an acre with a level front yard, easy year-round access, ample parking and a nearby babbling stream, the setting evokes a peaceful, park-like atmosphere ideal for full-time living, seasonal retreat or dual-use ownership. The home features a duplex-style layout, with a private lower-level apartment offering its entrance, full kitchen, laundry and utilities—well suited for a short-term or long-term rental, guest suite or multi-generational living. Inside, the spacious main living room is filled with natural light streaming through a wall of windows and anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace—currently outfitted with propane for convenience, but easily convertible back to wood-burning. Additional highlights include an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, oversized front-load washer and dryer, central air conditioning and fresh finishes throughout. A generous loft with its full bath provides flexible space for an additional sleeping area, lounge or home office. The back deck, front porch and a dedicated fire pit area expand the living space outdoors, offering the ideal setting to enjoy mountain views, fresh air and the tranquil sound of flowing water. Whether you're looking for a turnkey High Country getaway, a revenue-producing rental or a home with flexible living arrangements, this thoughtfully upgraded and move-in-ready property delivers lasting value in one of Boone’s most inviting settings. There is a 703-square-foot difference between tax records and professional measurements. The basement has been finished and is permitted. Permits are attached.
