About this home
PICTURESQUE, SPACIOUS, & CONVENIENT! This Valle Crucis split level home with incredible curb appeal has it all! Situated on 1.3 acres with a newly fenced backyard, the property offers stunning mountain views and Watauga River views from multiple open decks. The interior features 3 bedrooms plus a flex room (or additional sleeping area), 3 full baths, a spacious living room and den divided by a double sided gas fireplace, highly functional kitchen with open flow to the dining area, a separate office off of the den, and a large multi-purpose room with loads of storage space. Imagine the possibilities! Wood floors flank the main level, and the bathrooms are tiled. Carpet is found in the primary bedroom, while the other bedrooms and flex room boast wood floors. Parking is a breeze with the one car garage, carport, and ample driveway space. Got tools? There is even an area in the walkout basement that functions as a workshop. Well maintained with recent major improvements including a 2023 HVAC, 2024 roof, 2025 water heater and more! This centrally located mountain dream home is a short stroll to the Watauga River and is less than a mile drive to The Mast General Store, Valle Crucis Community Park, and the new and highly impressive Valle Crucis School. Only a 15 minute drive to Downtown Boone, and less than 30 minutes to Downtown Blowing Rock, Appalachian Ski Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and Beech Mountain Ski Resort. It currently serves as a primary residence, and could be turned into a highly desirable vacation rental! Both short term and long term rentals are permitted in this subdivision. See the certified measure and virtual tour to get a feel for the layout of this home. The septic permit could not be located by AppHealthCare in Watauga County, but the tax records indicate 3 bedrooms. Internet is currently coaxial through Spectrum. If fiber optic is preferred, Skyline/Skybest can provide it to this home.
