What an unusual gem is 249 The Homeplace! The location can't be beat: it's less than a mile to the Boone city limit, thus providing extraordinarily quick access to all that Boone offers: fine dining, shopping, entertainment, work, cultural events, festivals, ASU. Yet, once you enter the yard you are in your own world surrounded by a forest of beautiful old hardwood trees. With no restrictions, the home can be enjoyed as a single family residence, or a long term or short term rental. Walk into the home to find lovely hardwood flooring on the main floor in the open living room/dining area and kitchen. Freshly painted and with new kitchen appliances, the home is move in ready. The main floor bath has been remodeled with a new vanity and ceramic flooring. The laundry also has new tile flooring. Upstairs is the primary bedroom with abundant closet space, a sitting area, and a large ensuite bathroom. It opens to a second floor deck, at tree level and the obvious spot to enjoy leisurely morning coffee savoring the forest. The basement is a large unfinished space awaiting you to decide on a future use. Outdoors is ample parking space, a yard, and a charming rustic outbuilding.
