Welcome to this quintessential 2BR/2BA 1950s cottage on 1.17 acres, situated just minutes from downtown Boone. The setting is idyllic, with mature trees surrounding the home, yet the land is clear and open making it feel light and bright. An enclosed mudroom provides a place to drop your boots and jacket as you enter, followed by a spacious living room with fireplace, hardwood floors, tongue & groove wood ceiling and a fireplace with gas logs. An open kitchen with wormy chestnut cabinets and dining room area with a large breakfast bar separating the two spaces offers plenty of dining options. Also on this level, you will find the first bedroom, a full bathroom and a large laundry room complete with the original (inactive) spring trough running through the room and additional bonus room. Upstairs is the second bedroom with sitting area and the second full bathroom. Hardwood floors flow throughout most of the main level of the home, and beautiful tongue & groove ceilings have been added in many rooms.
