A fly fisherman's paradise, nestled along the scenic Watauga River, this picturesque round home offers the perfect blend of charm and tranquility. Listen to the rushing river from the wrap-around deck perched on the rock boulders, or cast a line in the nearby Watauga River. Recent updates done between 2021-2024 are new flooring, updated bath, and the home boasts a sleek, modern kitchen featuring stylish cabinetry, stone countertops, and new appliances. The inviting living room is centered around a stunning ceramic wood stove, and surrounded by windows for plenty of natural light and river views. Both bedrooms are ensuite with private baths, and the master bath is newly renovated with an updated vanity, new flooring, and a new shower. Mini-splits were recently added for both heating and cooling, and fresh paint throughout the interior. Just a short walk to the neighborhood amenities, including tennis courts and a pool - this home is located in Mill Ridge, central to Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, the Blue Ridge Parkway, ski slopes, and all that the high country has to offer! Sold fully furnished, move-in ready, and would make an excellent second home or short-term rental.
