Description
A unique opportunity to own a historic home in one of downtown Boone's most established neighborhoods. Originally built in 1915 as a Sears kit home, this property combines preserved architectural character with thoughtful updates and is located within walking distance of downtown Boone, Appalachian State University, local restaurants, breweries, bakeries, and the Farmers Market. Stone walls surround the property, which includes a covered front porch, private side deck, fenced yard, raised garden beds, and multiple outdoor living spaces. The home's historic details remain intact, including original hardwood floors, large windows, detailed trim work, and period craftsmanship throughout. The front porch provides a welcoming space to relax, while the rear entrance opens to a mudroom and brick patio beneath a pear tree. An oversized front door, reportedly salvaged from a former downtown bank, leads into a sunroom filled with natural light. The main level also features a sitting room with fireplace, adjoining living room, dining room with window seat, renovated kitchen, a flexible bedroom or office, and a full bathroom with clawfoot tub, shower, and laundry area. Located off the kitchen, the spacious primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a private entrance, and its own deck.
