Handyman Special in Mill Ridge – Great Investment Opportunity!
This 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath Mill Ridge condo offers incredible potential for the savvy buyer or investor. Featuring vaulted ceilings, bamboo flooring, and a stylish kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances, this home has already undergone tasteful renovations—but now needs someone to take it across the finish line.
A known crawlspace issue presents an opportunity to build equity with a bit of elbow grease. Ideal for a handyman or buyer looking for a project in a highly desirable community.
The main level boasts an open living and dining area, a convenient half bath, and a bright, airy feel throughout. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features a rustic barn door and a full ensuite bath.
Mill Ridge is a pet-friendly mountain community with a wealth of amenities including a clubhouse, pool, tennis and basketball courts, volleyball, trout fishing, and hiking trails. Short- and long-term rentals are permitted, making this a great opportunity for a future rental, vacation home, or primary residence.
Located perfectly between Boone and Banner Elk, you're just minutes from restaurants, shopping, and adventure.
