RARE 5BR WALKABLE TO APP STATE – HIGH-DEMAND RENTAL OPPORTUNITY! Opportunities like this in Boone’s walkable core are rare- and don’t last. Just steps from King Street, this property offers a location that consistently drives demand and long-term value.
Configured for two-level living, the home features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, making it ideal for student housing, income-producing rental, or a primary residence with flexible living options. R4 zoning allows for up to two unrelated occupants per level, creating a compliant and highly desirable rental setup.
The main level showcases oak hardwood floors, an open living/kitchen layout, and access to outdoor spaces. The lower level has been fully renovated and includes its own kitchen, living area, bedrooms, and bath- offering excellent separation for tenants or extended living.
Recent improvements provide confidence and efficiency, including updated windows, exterior paint, sliding glass door, enhanced outdoor areas, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, multiple mini-split systems, and a fully renovated basement living space.
City water and sewer offer low-maintenance ownership, while the carport and additional parking add everyday convenience- an important advantage this close to downtown.
This location consistently commands strong rental demand due to its proximity to campus. For parents of App State students, this is a standout option- providing a safer, more convenient alternative to housing farther from campus, with easy access year-round.
Whether you’re seeking a high-demand investment, student housing, or a well-located in-town property, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of Boone’s most desirable walkable locations.
Strong interest is expected- schedule your showing early.
