About this property
A Positive Outlook -10 mins to ASU, Hot Tub - Pool Table - Corner Jacuzzi
Enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Blue Ridge Mountains from this beautiful 3-level log home between Boone and Valle Crucis!
The main level has a large, open living room with high cathedral, exposed beam ceiling, a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace, 36-inch High-Definition Satellite TV with DVD Player, a large, covered deck with a gas grill, rocking chairs and a porch swing on which to rest and take in the beautiful mountain scenery, a fully-equipped kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, a dining area, a full bathroom, a bedroom with queen-sized bed, and a bedroom with two sets of twin-over-full bunk beds.
Upstairs is a loft area equipped with a desktop computer with high-speed internet and a printer and a table for puzzles or games, and very spacious master suite with king bed, cozy sitting area, 36" Satellite HDTV with DVD Player, and a full private bathroom with jetted tub and separate shower.
Downstairs is a large den with 36-inch Satellite HDTV, gas-log, stone fireplace, a master suite with king bed, 36-inch HDTV, and full private bathroom, a game room with pool table, and a lower deck with 2 porch swings and hot tub to sit or soak and relax while taking in the views.
Step outside anytime to enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds which include a stone fire pit and sitting area for gathering in the cool evenings to snuggle and roast marshmallows. There's also a small creek running through the property.
Enjoy plenty of space and comfort and privacy in and around this beautiful home which is located in Valle Crucis less than 10 minutes to Boone dining and shopping, 20 minutes away from Main Street Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railroad, the Blue Ridge Parkway, outlet shops, and only 10 minutes to ASU. Also within 20-40 minutes to Ski Beech, Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, Hawknest Snow Tubing and Zipline Resort, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls and Caverns, and every other High Country attraction.
After a busy day of fun activities, you'll be delighted to return to the relaxing charm of A Positive Outlook!
