Rarely does a Banner Elk mountain home check this many boxes at once: VIEWS. VIEWS. VIEWS. One-level living, updated interiors, short-term rental potential, and an ADDITIONAL LOT—all inside the gated community of Rocky Knob. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers paved access, a paved driveway, detached one-car garage, and the kind of mountain views that make people slow down, stay longer, and start imagining life here. From the moment you enter the great room, the scenery takes center stage. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, skylights, and natural light create an inviting open living space. Expansive long-range layered views of the northern High Country ridgelines are showcased from the great room, covered front porch, spacious primary suite, and front guest bedroom. The updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, a large island, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous storage—equally suited for quiet mornings or hosting family and friends. Both bathrooms have been renovated with tile showers and updated countertops. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet plus an additional closet. The third bedroom functions beautifully as a guest room, office, or flex space. Main-level laundry adds everyday convenience. Outdoor living offers two distinct settings. The covered front porch captures the views and includes a propane fire pit table for cool evenings, morning coffee, or sunset conversations. The rear deck offers a peaceful wooded backdrop and dedicated grilling space. Additional highlights include luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated windows, a 2019 roof, low-maintenance lawn, and furnishings are included with only a few exclusions. An additional lot conveys with the sale, creating added privacy and valuable extra space that are hard to find. Short-term rentals are allowed in this section of Rocky Knob, making this a compelling option for a primary residence, mountain getaway, or investment property. Conveniently located near Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and Valle Crucis, with quick access to Banner Elk Winery (right down the hill), Grandfather Vineyard & Winery, Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster, Blue Ridge Parkway, ski slopes, hiking, dining, and year-round High Country attractions. Views matter. Flexibility matters. Rare combinations matter. This one delivers. Schedule your showing today.
