Property Description
Don't let the advertised square footage fool you, the upstairs has over 1,000 square feet just under 7' with 3 bedrooms, den, bonus room, and full bath! Main level is bright and airy with an open living and dining area with laminate floors accented by a beautiful wood stove. One level living is possible with a bed and bath on the main with the kitchen, dining, and laundry conveniently located. Enjoy the privacy and cool mountain breezes from the covered front porch as you begin and end your day nestled in a hollow in the lovely Cove Creek community. In the past, portions of the nearly 10 acres were used to raise crops and gardens, and with a little work these areas could be reclaimed to make an ideal mini-farm. Unrestricted acreage with state road frontage means that you can easily add another home site and further utilize the property. Detached two car carport provides ample parking or workshop space, with several other outbuildings ready to be utilized as you need. All of this located an easy 15 minute drive from Boone and all of its amenities but situated to shield you from the hustle and bustle when you get home. Upstairs appears to have original hardwoods throughout, just begging to be brought back to their splendor. Come and explore one of the most well-kept homes that you will find in this area, with enough acreage to explore, farm, or dream. Book your appointment today!
