A quick 10 minutes drive from Earthfare brings you to 5033 Junaluska Road. Leave the convenient amenities and busyness of Boone behind to arrive at this home set at 4200 feet elevation for a cool summer spot to relax in nature's peaceful quiet. This long cherished home and yard offer many amenities to enjoy the large outdoor grassy space -- a fenced in dog trot, a unique and charming former goat barn/playhouse, sturdy cages for chickens, established vegetable beds, a tool shed, a small pond, a gazebo and endless varieties of shrubs, ferns, flowering plants, and large shade trees. Step inside the lower level front door to a sunroom, then beyond to a large tiled foyer. The lower level offers a spacious family room, currently used as an art studio, plus cozy sitting area with wood heat stove, a gas range and kitchen sink. Along the hall leading to the downstairs primary bedroom are a half bath and laundry room. The lower level primary bedroom looks out through the sunroom to the wooded front yard. A sitting room and full bath complete the ensuite. Walk upstairs to a hall with half bath that leads to three bedrooms, one currently used as an office. One of the bedrooms is primary with an ensuite full bath. There's something magical about sitting in the living room. Whether it's the vaulted wood tongue-and-groove ceiling or the large windows displaying the lovely outdoors and streaming light in or the wood flooring or the free-standing wood stove or something else, one instantly feels at peace. The living room opens to a spacious kitchen and dining area. Here, too, huge windows abundantly stream light in, filling the entire space up to the vaulted ceiling. Step outside the kitchen to the large wood deck, then on to the gazebo, inviting days of al fresco dining in the cool sylvan woods surrounding the property. Is there a mountain view? Peek through the trees and vegetation in front of the home and you'll see that with clearing, a view is possible. With a total of 2956 square feet under roof, the home offers two living spaces to gather together yet also nooks and crannies for quiet solitude. The paved driveway accommodates multiple cars.
