Tucked away in the peaceful Laurelwood community just minutes from downtown Boone, this charming 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath log cabin offers mountain character with the everyday comfort and practicality to make it a true place to call home. Whether you're buying your first home, settling into the High Country full time, or searching for a weekend retreat, this cabin delivers the best of all three. Step inside to warm natural wood finishes and classic log cabin details that feel inviting from the moment you walk through the door. The kitchen flows into a spacious living area anchored by a beautiful stone wood burning fireplace, a cozy gathering spot on cold winter nights or after a long day of work or play. The primary bedroom is your own personal sanctuary, complete with an electric fireplace for unwinding on cool mountain evenings. Just off the primary is a versatile bonus room with direct deck access, ideal for a home office, art or music studio, reading nook, or whatever fits your lifestyle, along with the full bathroom. The second bedroom, currently used as an office, easily fits a queen bed and has its own convenient en suite half bath. Peace of mind comes built in with a newer metal roof installed in 2024 as well as newer appliances, offering durability and low maintenance for years to come. The property backs up to a large tract of forested land, creating a wonderfully peaceful setting where you can enjoy the sounds of nature from the expansive porch while enjoying your morning coffee. Laurelwood is a quiet neighborhood with a mix of full time residents and vacation homes, giving you a sense of community while remaining just minutes from downtown Boone's restaurants, shopping, everyday conveniences, and Appalachian State University. The Blue Ridge Parkway is only five minutes away, and hiking, fishing, skiing, and endless outdoor adventures are all within easy reach. With its thoughtful updates, wooded backdrop, and easygoing mountain charm, this cabin is a wonderful opportunity to own your piece of the High Country, whether it's your first home, your forever home, or your favorite getaway.
