Sitting less than five minutes from the App State campus and downtown Boone, and just two minutes from Kidd Brewer stadium, this property offers a rare combination of convenience and opportunity at an accessible price point. This 1970 split-level home sits at the end of a short, shared driveway on a wooded 0.37-acre lot that provides a natural buffer from neighbors. Whether you are looking for a highly desirable student investment property or a solid starter home where you can build sweat equity, the location alone makes this a standout option. Inside, you enter a spacious living room anchored by a cozy woodstove fireplace and large picture windows that overlook a small grassy lawn, ideal for a firepit & outdoor dining set. The main level also features a separate den or dining area and a tidy, functional kitchen. Upstairs, the layout includes three bedrooms and two full baths. While plenty of opportunities remain to make this home your own, the big-ticket items have already been handled for you. The seller invested in a new roof and a new heat pump in 2025, and recent luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the home. For added convenience, the property is connected to city water, sewer, and trash collection. The lower level is a major bonus, featuring an oversized one-car garage with over 800 square feet of space perfect for a workshop, gear storage, or a fitness area. This space includes a separate laundry and utility room, and an extra refrigerator that conveys with the sale. If you want to be close to everything Boone has to offer, schedule a showing before this one is gone.

Breathtaking Views. Fortresslike Construction. Abundant natural beauty and in-town convenience...this home has it all! This Deltec home from 2017 is your summer perch above Boone and its surroundings, and your cocoon against the winter's chill. With state-of-the-art energy efficiency and supplemental solar power, this full-time residence regularly incurs only the monthly minimum utility charges, and occasionally even returns energy back to the grid! With ample level and gently sloping outdoor space, the current homeowners have enjoyed keeping bees, gardening, and establishing assorted habitats to attract local wildlife. Cool updrafts and persitent breezes keep things cooled off in the summer, especially here above 4000' and when winter comes around, the beauty of living on a state-maintained (and plowed!) road becomes apparent. Expansive windows face south from both levels decorating almost half of the home with those rockstar views, and a couple of well-placed sun tunnels bring even more natural light to interior areas. Look out across the stadium, take in Grandfather, Beech & Sugar, the distinctive silhouettes of the peaks around Linville Gorge, and on a good day, the mass of Mount Mitchell off in the distance! See the virtual tour for the best depictions of the views. The oversized garage is wired for an EV charger, and could accommodate a small workshop space. The home is outside the town limits, and is not subject to any zoning or other restrictive covenants, so whatever your vision may be, it can be your reality as well. Schedule a tour today and come on up and come home!
