The convenience of central Boone plus the peace & quiet at the end of the street! With three bedrooms & two baths on the main level and a basement efficiency apartment with a separate entrance below, this home is all about options. The basement is suitable for short-term rentals or long-term leasing, with its own laundry, kitchen, and full bath; seller states an average of $2000/month of short term rental income from the basement when they lived in the home. The main level flows seamlessly from the front-patio (with a built in gas firepit!) onto the wrap-around porch and into the main living area. Open concept living & kitchen coupled with an otherwise traditional ranch-style floorplan offers the ease of proven simplicity for day-to-day living. 240V power in place in the garage to power or charge a variety of items. Whatever your needs, this home is positioned to meet them. NOTE: the permissibility of certain types of rentals is dependent on a variety of factors. Potential buyers are encouraged to confirm intended use with local zoning authorities.
