Downstairs, the walkout basement has a large finished room with a second stone fireplace offering endless flexibility as a second living area, game room, or whatever suits your lifestyle and beautiful views out of the large picture windows. As if that is not enough, an expansive unfinished space beyond it offers abundant storage or the potential to make it entirely your own and is already equipped with a third full bathroom. Outside, the expansive back deck becomes your personal sanctuary. Mornings begin with coffee and birdsong. Evenings end in the practically new hot tub, mesmerized by the fall colors as the leaves change. When winter arrives, the leaves give way to breathtaking long range views that wrap around you in every direction. Up for an adventure? Hike through your own personal forest, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and make your way down to a charming little stream waiting at the bottom. If you've been craving the quiet of country life with the convenience of a short drive to Boone or Mountain City, this is a must see. It's more than a home, it's the life you've been quietly dreaming of.
