Plenty of folks drive up to Boone for the weekend. You'd get to stay. Up here you feel every season, and that's half the fun. When fall hits, the trees around the back deck turn and the air gets that crisp bite. Winter puts three ski areas in reach, with App Ski Mountain between Boone and Blowing Rock and Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain out toward Banner Elk. Come spring and summer, the Blue Ridge Parkway overlooks are there when you need to clear your head. Then you come home to a house where the big stuff's already done. It has a new roof and new decks. The old outdoor fuel tank is being removed, and its line has already been capped off the right way. All the work was done with permits. Inside, fresh paint and new floors run through every room. The kitchen has white cabinets, wood butcher block counters, and a farmhouse sink big enough for the pot of chili you'll make after a day on the slopes. French doors open to a wide back deck where coffee just tastes better. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs adds a second living space, laundry, and another full bath with a tiled walk in shower. That comes in handy when everybody's tracking in cold and wet. It all sits on 0.62 acres in Castle Heights, a short drive from downtown Boone and App State for game days and dinner out.

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. The property is being sold as-is.

Additionally, the seller reports water seepage under the garage door during heavy rains– it’s possible that the solution may be as simple as replacing the bottom weather stripping. If you want to be close to everything Boone has to offer, schedule a showing before this one is gone.
