About this home

Perched at 4,400 feet in the sought-after Top o' Boone community, this turnkey mountain retreat delivers long-range layered views stretching across Elk Knob, Snake Mountain, Three Top, and beyond - all just minutes from downtown Boone. Whether you're enjoying summer fireworks from the covered porch, soaking in the hot tub under the stars, or gathering around the newly added firepit, this property was designed to maximize the mountain experience. Since purchasing the home in 2022, the current owners have thoughtfully elevated the property inside and out. Improvements include the addition of a hot tub and outdoor firepit area, expanded heated living space in the walkout basement, and a complete professional furnishing and design package that allows the home to be offered fully turnkey and rental-ready. Over the past 12 months, the property has generated approximately $80,000 in gross rental revenue. The main level features a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with gas logs, an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, two covered decks, a bunk room, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, stack washer and dryer, and a game table alcove. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a large closet, full bathroom, and open office nook overlooking the living area below. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the home, and a sleeper sofa provides additional guest accommodations. The heated walkout basement adds incredible flexibility and is currently utilized as a game room, mud room, and workshop, complete with a full bathroom. Existing radon mitigation system already in place. Ideal as a proven short-term rental investment, second home, or full-time mountain residence, this beautifully maintained Boone cabin is truly move-in ready and built for making memories.
