BUYERS TAKE NOTICE!! This property offers a rare combination of features that make it a must-see. Built in the early 1940s, this bungalow has grown into a modern dwelling and barely resembles its primitive origin. This charming cottage has been thoughtfully transformed through a custom renovation, blending modern design with timeless mountain appeal. Featuring a striking black-and-white palette, beautifully whitewashed wood interiors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, French oak hardwood flooring, and Anderson windows with transoms, every detail has been carefully curated to create a warm and inviting retreat. While officially listed as a one-bedroom home, there is an additional room that offers exceptional flexibility and can easily serve as a guest room, home office, hobby room, or bonus space to fit your lifestyle. The designer kitchen is truly a standout, offering quartz countertops, custom cabinetry and hardware, and a stainless-steel appliance package less than three years old. Enjoy easy access to the side deck through an Anderson sliding glass door, along with an oversized kitchen sink window that fills the space with natural light and showcases the beautiful farmhouse sink with a convenient touchless faucet. Additional features include a tankless water heater, stackable washer and dryer, smart TVs in the bedroom and living room, high-speed internet perfect for remote work, a specialty bathroom with soaking tub and designer tile, and furnishings that convey--making this a true turnkey property. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered front porch with custom Poly Wood rocking chairs, gather around the outdoor firepit with high-quality Poly Wood Adirondack seating, or simply relax while listening to the peaceful sounds of the mountains. Professionally landscaped with flowering bushes, a cherry tree, and a creek flowing along the front side of the property, this approximately 0.85-acre setting offers a wonderful blend of open space and wooded privacy. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb Premier Host property, this cottage offers excellent flexibility as a primary residence, second home, or investment opportunity. Additional features include an RV electric hookup, HVAC warranty conveying, current pest control contract with termite warranty, and the possibility of a second residence on the upper acreage. Conveniently located just over one mile from downtown Mountain City attractions and restaurants, and within easy reach of the Virginia Creeper Trail, Appalachian Trail, Damascus trailhead, Watauga Lake, Watauga Lake Winery, Heritage Hall, Doe Mountain Recreation Authority, Laurel Bloomery fly fishing, Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, the High Country of North Carolina, and Abingdon, Virginia.
