Somebody already did the hard part on this one. The roof is new, the decks are new, and fresh paint and new floors run through every room, so your first weekend here can go to the mountains instead of a punch list. The kitchen is where everybody ends up. White cabinets, warm butcher block counters, and a deep farmhouse sink that'll hold the biggest pot of chili you own after a cold day on the slopes. French doors open right onto a wide back deck. In October it's the best seat for watching the leaves turn, and by July it's where morning coffee happens. Heat is oil with Blue Ridge Energy, but there is not an HVAC system. Upstairs has three bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs gives you a fourth bedroom, a second living space, laundry, and another full bath with a tiled walk in shower, which is right where you want to land when everybody comes in wet and frozen. With two living areas, the movie crowd and the early sleepers don't have to fight over one room. It all sits on 0.62 acres in Castle Heights with a paved drive. You're outside town limits, so there's no city tax bill. King Street is about 3.5 miles away when you want dinner downtown or an App State game. Winter puts App Ski Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and Beech Mountain within reach, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is there in every season when you need to clear your head. Plenty of folks drive up to Boone for a weekend and spend Sunday night wishing they didn't have to leave. You wouldn't have to.
