About this home
Amazing mountain house located just one mile from downtown Banner Elk, where inviting restaurants, summer music, and a vibrant arts scene bring this mountain town to life. Beautiful landscaping showcases blooming rhododendrons and stately red maple and oak trees rich with color. Two driveways on each end of the house allow you to access the unfinished basement to park your camper, create a workshop, organize outdoor gear, or finish the additional 2,790SF for a total of 5,411SF of living space to tailor to your needs. The convenient access from all city-paved roads quickly snow scraped in winter.
Spacious, well-lit with multiple windows, primary bedroom is on the first floor with no steps up around the corner from the kitchen for single-floor living. A roomy walk-in closet for hang-ups and shelves. Unwind in the beautifully updated bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower and a separate whirlpool tub for a relaxing soak after a fun day in the mountains.
Inside, a beautiful vaulted wood ceiling lends warmth and character, setting the tone for relaxed mornings and welcoming evenings. An open kitchen concept with a main-level primary bedroom and two guest bedrooms offer the comfort and ease of first-floor living.
Above the attached garage, a separate office creates a quiet retreat for work, creative projects, or favorite hobbies. A new mini-split heating and air conditioning system, installed in 2026, keeps this versatile space comfortable throughout the year.
The possibilities continue downstairs with the unfinished basement space with windows and plumbing is already in place for future finishing. This expansive lower level offers room for both today's interests and tomorrow's plans.
Improvements include a new roof in 2022, heat pump and furnace in 2020, retaining wall and drainage work in 2024, and the office mini-split in 2026.
Downtown Banner Elk invites you to linger over dinner, enjoy outdoor summer concerts in the park and town square, Monday evening concerts at the local college add another reason to head out and savor the town's welcoming spirit. Picture summer evenings filled with music, a favorite restaurant close by, and the simple pleasure of having so much within easy reach.
As the seasons turn, nearby Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain offer skiing and tubing, with this home conveniently situated between the two. Spend the day on the slopes, then return to the warmth and familiarity of your own retreat.
