284 Morris St, Blowing Rock, NC 28605

** Our seasonal guest leaves this week and showings will be scheduled this week! Seldom do houses in town come on the market, this is your chance to be within walking distance to shops, restaurants, church, parks and more! Quality. Isn't that what we all want when purchasing a home? When buying a home in the mountains, I looked for 3 years. Yes, truly, it took me 3 years to find a home that didn't have issues from a steep lot, too much shade, or in need of a complete renovation. I wanted move in ready, maybe a paint change, but I wanted quality. There are no surprises in this house. The photos show the extensive care taken when KBI renovated this home. You see the sealing of the foundation in the photos. You see the house stripped down and rebuilt by the best there is. The original house taken back to the studs. ALL NEW in 2006. 1 block off Main St, on the quiet street of Morris. People don't know about this elbow of Morris that hits Chestnut. It's quiet yet right in town. No through traffic, no large trucks permitted. Chestnut is busy, Main is busy. But not Morris. Those of us who live on Morris covet the secret! Between the cost of the home, $350,000 in 2006 and the renovation, $575,000, and additional work done the owner paid others to do, over $1 million was invested in this project. More improvements have been made in 2017-2018 totaling over $15,000. The quality renovation includes wide custom baseboards, wide custom window trim, Anderson casement windows, bead board features, a coffered ceiling in the kitchen, a vaulted bead board ceiling with beams, granite counters in the kitchen with a gas range, 2 dishwasher drawers allowing you to do a small load or both drawers for a large load, a security system with 2 separate code panels up and down, 3 large bedrooms, the master with a trey ceiling, 3 full baths, 3 living rooms, each with it's own gas fireplace, the lower level creates an entire level possible to have separate living, guest quarters, a mother in law, an elderly parent, a caretaker for the winter, a rental apt, .... or simply, an extension of the main level. One living room is an entertaining porch with a Jenn Air Grill, Bar Frig with a fireplace for dinner parties or to extend the main living room for larger groups. This house is a must see. The inside is light and welcoming and warm and creates the perfect mountain home for summers or year round. At just under 3000 sq ft, the size is deceiving, the nature of the quality of the renovation must be seen to appreciate. With 3 living rooms, one could easily turn one into a 4th bedroom and bath. There are lots of possibilities of how to use this generously sized home. Walking distance to all Blowing Rock restaurants, shops and events, yet living on a quiet street. You can't argue with quality! You can't ask for more! This home is a gem. The home is being sold "as is". An inspection is welcome! Radon mitigation has been done! **This home rents for $3500 a month, easily. And you have the option with 2 separate living quarters, of renting the top, the bottom, or the whole house and using 1 level for yourself. So many options make this house the perfect investment!
