Property Description

Welcome to a true mountain sanctuary, a meticulously maintained and fully furnished turnkey gem boasting a fantastic location perfectly nestled between Boone and Blowing Rock with incredible, long-range layered Blue Ridge Mountain views. Situated near the end of a quiet, paved dead-end street, this property offers a magnificent setting and a versatile layout designed perfectly for personal vacation or primary use on the main floor while simultaneously generating rental income from an established, lower-level short-term rental apartment. The main level boasts gorgeous wood floors, a quiet and peaceful ambiance, and an awesome open-concept living area with windows framing the breathtaking vistas from every angle. The expansive, fully stocked kitchen features high-end appliances that are only three years old and flows beautifully into the living space, which is tastefully appointed with mountain accents, including a unique rustic coffee table, curated artwork, and distinct pieces adding character. Both bedrooms on this main living level are spacious and easily accommodate king-size beds, with one showcasing a beautiful custom wooden headboard. Two full bathrooms on this level provide ultimate convenience. Step out onto the expansive fabulous covered back deck to relax in the crisp mountain air and take in the panoramic scenery, or enjoy the charming covered front porch and its beautifully landscaped walkway. Accessible via a completely separate exterior entrance, the super-cute, separate lower-level apartment functions as a high-performing Airbnb equipped with everything a guest could need, while also offering a phenomenal separate retreat for visiting friends and family to stay. It includes a comfortable living area, a dining space, one bedroom, a full bathroom, its own private covered deck with lovely views, and a fully stocked kitchenette complete with a mini fridge, microwave hood, toaster oven, and a Keurig. Please note that this lower-level heated living area is not included in the total MLS heated square footage due to its exterior entry, allowing buyers to appreciate this additional space as a true bonus asset. The home is engineered for premium comfort with great upgrades, including a dual-fuel gas and electric HVAC system installed in 2021 for the main house, and two highly efficient mini-splits providing dedicated heating and cooling to the lower level apartment living room and bedroom. Outdoor living matches the impressive indoor space, with a massive backyard lot that extends beautifully all the way down to the woods, a one-car garage, an extra refrigerator, and a large, super-convenient storage room. From this unbeatable High Country location, you are close to the hospital and the Greenway walking trails, a short drive from the premium shops and restaurants of downtown Blowing Rock and downtown Boone, and moments from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Appalachian Ski Mountain, all while occasionally hearing the nostalgic train whistle of Tweetsie Railroad echoing in the distance. This exceptional property beautifully captures the essence of High Country living, offering an unparalleled blend of peaceful mountain seclusion, modern comfort, and incredible versatility.
