About This Home

As of July 2026

Welcome to a classic Boone brick ranch that masterfully balances town convenience with a sense of private mountain sanctuary. Positioned perfectly within Boone town limits, this property offers an increasingly rare lifestyle: the ability to leave your car keys on the counter and connect with the heart of the High Country on foot. A short, pleasant stroll brings you to the historic Horn in the West, the vibrant Saturday morning Watauga County Farmers Market, and the App State University campus, making this an unmatched location for faculty, students, or anyone seeking true community integration. Stepping across the threshold of the main level, you are immediately greeted by the warmth of hardwood floors. The heart of the home centers around a handsome, floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, a grounding architectural feature that anchors the main living area and invites cozy mountain evenings. The seamless layout flows gracefully into an updated kitchen equipped with clean, timeless stainless steel appliances that contrast beautifully with the home’s traditional character. The main floor features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, providing a spacious layout for daily living. Downstairs, the finished basement expands the home with 2 additional bedrooms and bathrooms. Because 1 bedroom, bathroom, and the equipped kitchen can be completely closed off to act as a self-contained apt, this level introduces incredible versatility, perfect for a premium mother-in-law suite, private guest quarters, or a high-demand rental tailored to the university market. Outside, the property continues to surprise with an expansive, gently sloping backyard framed by mature trees. It is a rare luxury for an in-town home to offer this much private green space, a blank canvas ready for a terraced garden, outdoor dining decks, or a peaceful fire pit area to enjoy cool High Country nights. Combining enduring mid-century brick construction, dual-living potential, and a deeply connected walkable location, this isn't just a place to live; it’s a gateway to the very best of Boone.
