Mid-Century Charm with Modern Peace of Mind

Step into this classic 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch located in one of Boone's most sought-after neighborhoods. Perfectly blending solid bones with nostalgic character, this home is a dream canvas for those looking to build instant equity while benefiting from a massive list of recent mechanical and structural upgrades.

The main living areas feature beautiful hardwood floors and fresh interior paint from 2022, creating a clean and timeless foundation. The heart of the home is the large retro kitchen, which was updated with a new cooktop in 2022 and offers incredible potential for a custom remodel. You will also find a beautifully refreshed porch equipped with new siding, windows, flooring, and paint as of 2025--the perfect spot for morning coffee. Each of the three bedrooms is generously sized. The bath has a brand-new tub and shower installed in 2026.

Beyond the aesthetics, the sellers have invested heavily in the home's infrastructure. The lower level is not only ready to be updated to your desires, but it is also been protected by comprehensive foundation exterior waterproofing, professional bracing, and a robust drainage system. This includes a sump pump and French drains installed in 2022, with additional French drains added in 2024. For added safety and comfort, the home features a new sewer line (2022), new gutters (2022), a new hot water heater (2025), and a radon mitigation system installed in 2026. You'll even find the home is pre-wired for a portable generator out back as of 2025.

Situated on a quiet, established street in a premier Boone location, this home is just minutes from local parks, hospital, golf course downtown. Bring your imagination and schedule your private showing today to see why this upgraded ranch is the smartest investment on the market.
