Boone/Blowing Rock NC Mountaintop Home With 360 Views!

This mountaintop home (elevation 4,000 feet) in western North Carolina is midway between Boone and Blowing Rock. Located in the Sorrento Skies Development, it is only 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Samaritan's Purse, 15 minutes from Appalachian State University, Ski Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad and Mystery Hill, 30 minutes from Grandfather Mountain and two hours from Greensboro and Charlotte. The local elementary school (Blowing Rock) and high school (Watauga) have some of the best test scores and athletic teams in the state. The neighborhood covered picnic area overlooks a waterfall and is in the middle of a dense Rhododendron glade. Short, almost level, walks around the neighborhood showcase incredible views. Even though the house is designed for one level living, it has a full finished basement to accommodate guests or a large family. Long-range mountain views can be seen from all windows. The main level includes a 580 square foot living room with a cathedral ceiling, separate dining room, large kitchen, sun room and two bedrooms. The garage, which is off the kitchen, has over 60 linear feet of shelving. An additional refrigerator in the garage not only provides extra space, but makes unloading and storing groceries much easier. The full basement has an office, bonus room, bedroom and an oversized family room. The gas-log fireplaces on each level help take the chill off on those snowy winter nights. Just outside the basement family room is a 6 person hot-tub in an enclosed room. This room opens onto a flat yard area, perfect for a patio. The gently sloping, half-acre lot has been extensively landscaped with something blooming all season long. Extras abound. There are two water heaters providing a combined 88 gallons of hot water. The house has central air conditioning, 4 ceiling fans and a whole house fan. This house is solidly built and has been properly maintained.

We are currently updating the interior and expect the house to be move-in ready in January 2009.
