Less than five minutes from downtown Banner Elk, Lees-McRae College and Sugar Mountain, this single-level ranch residence offers location, flexibility and privacy on a park-like, flat 1.57-acre setting. While officially listed as a three-bedroom home, the layout provides four distinct sleeping areas, including a versatile guest suite off the kitchen with its stone fireplace, full bath, walk-in closet, private deck and abundant natural light, ideal as a second primary suite, in-law space or bonus living area. The open kitchen and dining area flow into the main living room, which features a second stone fireplace crafted from Grandfather Mountain stone. French doors lead to a large rear deck overlooking the fenced backyard, garden space and wooded edge. The same Grandfather Mountain stone is used on the exterior, adding timeless character and regional significance. One bedroom is used as a laundry room and can be easily converted back. The unfinished basement offers a second laundry area, abundant storage and space for a gym, studio or workshop. Outdoor living is unmatched, with a covered front porch, expansive back deck, stone path to a creekside platform beneath a mature shade tree, and ample room for gardening or small livestock. A heated, detached two-car garage with workshop or office is connected by a covered breezeway. Additional features include accessible design elements and a high-efficiency HVAC system with advanced air filtration. A rare opportunity combining convenience, unrestricted usable land and flexible living space, minutes from everything Banner Elk and the High Country have to offer.
