Tucked away on 2 acres with stunning, long-range mountain views, this Banner Elk home pairs scenic beauty with everyday comfort—just minutes to town and Lees-McRae College. In addition to the 2BR/2BA main home, you’ll find a standalone cottage perfect for hosting guests, an art studio, yoga space, or quiet retreat. The beautifully updated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring generous cabinetry, pantry storage, and a dedicated corner for your coffee bar or baking station. The living room is warm and welcoming, with a wood-burning stove and a cozy window seat that perfectly frames the sweeping mountain views. Just outside, the brand-new two-story deck invites you... to relax, dine, entertain, or simply take it all in—sunrises, starry skies, and everything in between. A versatile flex space on the main level serves well as an office, playroom, or reading nook. You’ll also find a custom-tiled full bath and bonus room on this floor. A spacious laundry/mudroom connects directly to the oversized two-car garage, adding functionality and convenience. Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat with its own seating area, upper deck access, and spa-like bath with soaking tub and tiled glass shower. A generous walk-in closet adds both luxury and functionality to the suite. One additional bedroom and bonus room complete the upper level, along with a large floored attic offering bonus storage. Outside, the flat, tree-lined yard is filled with native rhododendrons and mountain laurels, creating a peaceful setting with space to roam and play. Located just over the Watauga County line in the coveted Valle Crucis School district—with a brand-new school opening this fall—this mountain home checks all the boxes. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a high-performing short-term rental, this property delivers mountain living at its best. Wastewater from lower-level shower, kitchen sink & washer is treated as grey water and does not drain into the existing septic system. A permit was not pulled for the deck replacement.
