This wonderful bungalow lays nestled on an expansive 1.48-acre yard less than 10 minutes into Boone. Moreover, it comes with a bonus property: a bright and cheery 1 bedroom, 1 bath fully furnished apartment, located above the detached garage. For both, step into a world of quaint charm where meticulously maintained flowers and landscaping create a picture-perfect welcome. It's a lovely spot to enjoy year-round living. Or, lazily relax on the abundant decks away from the busy world or delight in outdoor activities. Unhampered by light pollution, the star-filled sky is breathtaking. The artistry continues inside. In the spacious kitchen, thoughtfully placed lighting is complemented by beautiful shelving above the cabinets, a theme echoed in the bedrooms where a clever use of shelving space maximizes storage above the closets. New gas logs in the fireplace augur restful evenings in the snug living room, or flickering lit dinners in the dining area. Vaulted ceilings assure a light and bright space, accented by wood beams that visually bring inside the surrounding mountain environment. The spacious ensuite bath opens to the primary bedroom. One-level living with dead flat entry makes this an easy home to live in. The apartment is like-new, light and bright, with wood floors that gleam. Its full-size kitchen, full size washer and dryer, roomy open living and dining room, and large decks will gladden renters, whether you choose to rent year-round or as a vacation rental, a wise investment in this property. Of course, it could also be an office, removed from daily activities in the home. Below it, the over-sized two car garage could be finished as an office or workshop space. The current owners have found this home and grounds magical, not just a place to live, but rather an experience to be embraced. Plus, not yet mentioned is the creek, small pasture area, and heated outbuilding! 7.6 miles to ASU.
