Completely renovated creekfront home just minutes from Boone and Appalachian State. Located just outside the Boone city limits, this 2BR/2BA property sits along the peaceful banks of Howards Creek, offering the relaxing sound of flowing water and a convenient location less than 10 minutes from downtown Boone, shopping, dining, and App State. Following flooding during Hurricane Helene, the home was taken down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt, creating a fresh, updated interior with modern finishes throughout. Inside you’ll find luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the home, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a bright, open living space designed for comfortable everyday living. Major system updates include an architectural shingle roof, electric heat pump providing central heating and air, and an encapsulated crawlspace with spray foam insulation, helping improve energy efficiency and long-term durability. Outside, enjoy direct frontage on Howards Creek, perfect for relaxing by the water or enjoying the natural beauty of the High Country. A one-car detached garage with covered breezeway provides convenient covered access to the home. With its fully renovated interior, creekside setting, and close proximity to Boone, this property offers a great opportunity for a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or investment property. Deed conveys 1/2 interest in well however there is no other home connected to it at this time. Septic was pumped & inspected in Jan 2026. Property is in the flood zone and lender will require flood insurance. Property was flooded during Hurricane Helene, taken down to the studs and completely renovated. No flooding has occured since. Annual tax bill will likely increase due to the extensive renovation that has taken place.
