About This Home

Experience modern mountain living in this beautifully updated home in Seven Devils, offering inspiring views of Grandfather Mountain and the convenience of one-level living. Step inside to discover black-framed windows and doors, and contemporary paint both inside and out. Enjoy the comfort of a galvanized metal roof, upgraded flooring, an updated dual-fuel heat pump, central air, and a water heater for peace of mind. The open kitchen and dining area feature sleek stainless-steel appliances and elegant butcher-block countertops, great for large gatherings and entertainment. This three-bedroom home also offers a versatile bonus room that can serve as an office, guest room, or game room, depending on your needs. Relax in the vaulted living room by the stone wood-burning fireplace, or step outside to take in mountain views from the spacious front porch or back deck. The “mountain-level” yards in front and back provide ample space for outdoor fun or cozy evenings by the fire pit. With a well-maintained road, flat paved driveway, and a two-car garage, accessibility is effortless in every season. Although it has never been rented, this property has strong potential as a short-term rental. Conveniently located between Boone and Banner Elk, you’ll have easy access to ski slopes and all area attractions.
