Very quaint single story home with many updates (e. g. floors have been refinished, bathroom has been updated, new attic insulation). Rear deck and patio with an outdoor fireplace to enjoy the cool and quiet Boone nights. Near Appalcart bus service with a stop at the end of George Wilson Rd for quick access to App State and downtown Boone. Could be a great student rental investment.
