For Sale

Now offered at $1,999,000, 140 Library Lane delivers flexible living in the heart of Banner Elk. The 4BR/3BA main residence is complemented by a separate 1BR/1BA fully furnished apartment over the garage—ideal for multi-generational living, guest space, or rental income. Set on 2.97 private acres in town, this property offers the rare combination of privacy, convenience, and versatility—just minutes to restaurants, shopping, festivals, and Lees-McRae College. Historic details include original wood floors, solid wood doors, wide baseboards, and wormy chestnut trim, anchored by three grand stone fireplaces (converted to natural gas) and a wood-burning stove. Modern upgrades enhance the character: new appliances, updated siding and windows, a spacious new deck, two storage sheds, and a two-car garage wired for an EV. A large workshop/studio with 220v/45 amp service is perfect for creative or professional projects. The grounds invite exploration with stone porches and patios, a swing by the pond, blooming gardens, and rhododendron groves. Zoned R-2, the property allows for accessory dwellings, home occupations, and more, with potential for commercial or institutional rezoning (subject to approval). A rare opportunity to own nearly 3 acres of history, character, and versatility in the heart of Banner Elk.
