What a find is this three-bedroom, 3.5 bath log home that expertly marries rustic and modern elements creating a warm, elevated, and dynamic home. Though located in close proximity to Appalachian State University and within Kalmia Acres, this home enjoys a private mountain setting with Beech Mountain views, coupled with easy access to all things Boone. How great is that? At the entrance to the home, soaring exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, and rich hardwood flooring welcome you. The great room is striking yet warm, filled with natural light. The kitchen was thoughtfully updated in 2017 with concrete countertops, a new sink, lighting, and GE appliances. The comfortable and spacious main-level primary suite offers private access to the covered deck and is roomy enough for a reading nook and large furniture. Also on the main level is a convenient half bath and laundry closet. Upstairs, you’ll appreciate a loft that functions perfectly as a second living space, office, and game area, along with two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The lowest level provides over 800 square feet of highly functional, flexible space that the sellers have thoughtfully updated. A third full bath is on this floor, and the balance of space is currently used as extra sleeping space, a den, and a workout area. The possibilities are many. You’ll love the expansive wrap-around TREX deck with over 1,200 square feet of covered and open space accessed right from the main level. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy the mountain views, watch the clouds roll in, or relax with a good book, with plenty of room for family and friends to spread out. The oversized two-car garage provides excellent additional utility space with a built-in mud sink for convenience and storage. The sellers have kept this home in excellent shape with thoughtful recent updates including freshly resealed logs and fresh interior paint. If you’re looking for that perfect blend of mountain character and modern comfort in a location that can’t be beat, you've found it.
