Nestled above the South Fork of the New River in Boone, NC, this energy efficient modern mountain haven boasts mountain and valley views from both levels. Abundant natural light and vaulted ceilings highlight the open concept living and dining area, which connects to a chef’s kitchen featuring stainless steel countertops, custom maple cabinetry, and a brand-new refrigerator and dishwasher (10/2025). Modern wood stoves on both levels create aesthetic focal points, with their warmth being complemented by radiant hot water heated floors. The main level offers two bright bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated office space for remote work or creative pursuits. Expansive decks on both floors accommodate seamless indoor-outdoor living, enjoy sunrise coffees and sunset cocktails. Downstairs, the primary suite offers a serene escape with a generous walk-in closet and full ensuite bath with double sinks. The downstairs family room invites you to gather for movie nights or casual lounging and is flanked by a half bath and hidden laundry area. French doors offer direct access to the lower expansive deck making this level as sun filled as the upper floor. Established Japanese garden entry on the upper-level wraps around to a generous backyard offering space for a future firepit, play area, garage, or workshop. The home was painted inside and out, along with the deck, in 2024, and the roof was replaced in 2023.
