Tucked just outside Boone, this home offers a rare amount of square footage, flexibility, and access to everything the High Country has to offer-all at a compelling price point. With a 3BR septic permit, the layout lives significantly larger, featuring multiple additional bonus rooms and a fully finished lower level with a second living area and additional full bath. The multi-level design creates excellent separation of space, making it well-suited for full-time living, hosting guests, or creating dedicated work, hobby, or flex areas. The finished lower level adds meaningful usable space and opens the door for a variety of living arrangements depending on your needs. The home has seen consistent use over time and would benefit from cosmetic updates, but offers a solid foundation for a buyer looking to add value without taking on a full-scale renovation. The combination of layout and square footage at this price point is increasingly difficult to find in the Boone market. Location is a standout-positioned between Boone and Banner Elk with convenient access to outdoor recreation and year-round amenities. Appalachian Ski Mountain is approximately 20 minutes away, Sugar Mountain is roughly 20-25 minutes, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking trails, parks, and local wineries are all nearby. Dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences are just a short drive in either direction. Strong square footage, flexible layout, and a location that supports both lifestyle and long-term value-an opportunity to make it your own without starting from scratch.
