Breathe in the mountain air and soak in unbeatable views from one of the two porches this great cottage has to offer. Located just 10 minutes from Boone and Appalachian State University, this home is a rare find in the High Country- amazing views including Grandfather Mountain and Hanging Rock, flat parking, and flat yard with so much potential for a garden, shed, or even expanding. Shipley Farms 'Farm Store' is right around the corner, along with Valle Crusis park being only 8 minutes away. The Master bedroom filled with natural light opens out to upper level deck with stairs leading down to the yard. Downstairs you have a spacious kitchen with plenty of counter space, half bath, laundry, living and dining. Enjoy fresh blackberries and crab apples from the back yard while enjoying your mountain oasis. Recent updates include: new water heater in 2023, new roof in 2021, new light fixtures in 2019. No rental restrictions give this home potential for long or short term rental opportunity, or full time living as a wonderful starter home.
