A rare Downtown Boone investment opportunity, this charming 1934 commercial building sits directly on King Street in the heart of Boone's most walkable, high-traffic retail corridor, surrounded by boutiques, restaurants, breweries, and steps from Appalachian State University, drawing a steady stream of students, tourists, and locals year-round. The building welcomes guests through large storefront windows and a classic recessed entry, opening into a warm, character-filled interior with exposed brick accents, beadboard ceilings, wood beams, and a mix of vintage and industrial finishes creating a look equal parts cozy café and mountain lodge; the main floor features a service counter, tiled bar area, and multiple flexible seating vignettes, while an upstairs loft adds additional lounge and gathering space with its own exit access and brick detailing. Out back, a wood deck offers additional outdoor space overlooking the surrounding rooftops of Downtown Boone, and a detached 363 sqft storage building sits just behind the main structure, currently outfitted with commercial refrigeration and freezer units, great for continued food & beverage use or easily repurposed for retail overflow, equipment, or inventory storage. The business operating from the space also maintains access to 5 designated parking spaces nearby through a separate rental arrangement — a valuable convenience in this downtown district. The seller will lease back the space from the new owner, delivering immediate in-place income from day one, making this a turnkey opportunity to own real estate in one of Western North Carolina's most dynamic and rarely available downtown markets.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! How do you beat Shores Farm! The only way is the best spot in the community. And that is 339 Welcome Way. Driving up you will love the setting. Climbing the front covered porch, you'll love the ambiance even more. You'll love how it wraps around to the woods and wet weather stream beside. You begin to get a sense of its wooded privacy and seclusion. All without setting foot inside the home. Crossing the threshold you'll be taken with the scent of fresh logs and tongue and groove wood. With your first step you'll notice the soaring cathedral ceiling and the stone hearth that climbs all the way to the top. Everywhere you look is wood and glass. Hardwood floors set the tone. The upgraded kitchen replete with granite counters punctuates the picture. House is built like a tank and floor feel stout to the foot when you tread on them. The one won't last. Come quick before it returns to 24/7 rental. Fireplace was wood-burning, converted to gas logs for convenience but easily re-converted back to wood-burning. Offered partially furnished with exceptions. Side yard boasts a beautiful wet weather stream so peaceful for rainy day snoozing. This home stays rented almost continuously and has been unavailable all summer so it has been challenging to show. But it is off the rental market the month of September due to Vacasa ceassing local operations. So this fine home will be available for showings from September 5 thru September 30. Please pre-book your showings during this hiatus. Please consult your agency for availability. Property recently updated with new roof, heat pump, gutters, fresh paint and stain, chimney rock updates, gardening and tree trimming. Sellers needs have changed, has enjoyed her long tenure and ready for the next phase. It is ready to go.
