About this home

A rare opportunity has just hit the market: this ranch-style home, built in 1971, features a convenient level entry, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms on the main level; notably, the basement includes 1,168 sq ft. of two apartments with 2 full baths, offering an excellent investment opportunity. Although the property is sold as-is, a little tender loving care (TLC) can transform it into a lucrative rental with three distinct living spaces. Alternatively, you could live in the main area, perfect for a primary residence, while the two rental units below provide a steady income to help ease your mortgage burden. Conveniently nestled at the end of a peaceful road, the property sits on an expansive acre of flat land divided into 3 lots, plus a charming garden that enhances its curb appeal. The standout outdoor feature is the impressive over-1,000-square-foot deck, ideal for entertaining and soaking up stunning western sunsets, plus pastureland on the east and south sides. Inside, the residence features modern amenities, including stainless steel appliances, custom walnut cabinets, and Corian countertops, blending style with functionality. The attached garage provides easy access, while the den off the kitchen, complete with a cozy gas fireplace, adds warmth and character. The versatile office space can serve multiple purposes, making it perfect for remote work or a quiet reading nook. Just outside the city limits yet close to town, you'll enjoy suburban tranquility with easy access to urban amenities. The property includes an extra parcel, offering the option to build a separate garage, workshop, or even a tiny home. Overall, this property offers comfortable living and strong income potential, making it an exceptional opportunity for homeowners and investors alike. It's minutes from Samaritan's Purse, Watauga Medical Center, and Appalachian State, plus outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, and vineyard visits.
