Rare opportunity for the avid fly fisherman and lover of the great outdoors to own a custom-built log home on 3.79 acres with 575-plus feet of Howards Creek frontage, only minutes from Boone, ASU, and other amenities. Cross the rushing creek and follow the driveway to your new home nestled in the woods. Custom-built by a father-son team with hand-hewn hemlock logs shipped from Canada and handsome interior walls of local wormy chestnut, cherry, and knotty alder. The main floor has a comfortable living room with a rock fireplace and gas logs, a half bath, a laundry room with its own entrance out to the back covered porch and patio, a spacious gathering room with a kitchen and ample dining space, and a primary en-suite bedroom with a full bath and exterior door to outdoor fireplace and patio. The second floor has two large bedrooms and a shared full bath plus a cozy office/playroom. A sweeping front porch offers a view of the rushing creek and a quiet space for relaxing. The lower level has garage parking, a workshop area, and lots of storage space. The seller receives mail at the downtown Boone Post Office. No physical mail delivery is available at this time.
