PRICE IMPROVEMENT!!! IDEALLY LOCATED, MOUNTAIN CABIN is located in Banner Elk, less than 4 miles from downtown, nestled between Sugar Mountain Ski Resort (about 6 miles away) and Ski Beech (about 9 miles away). This beautifully crafted 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath mountain retreat, built in 2007, offers quality construction, impressive finishes, and a versatile layout ideal as a primary residence, second home, or investment property. The main level showcases a STUNNING GREAT ROOM with STONE FIREPLACE, soaring character, and beautiful solid OAK FLOORING flowing through the great room, kitchen, dining areas, foyer, and powder room. The oversized kitchen features abundant workspace and bar seating, complemented by a convenient kitchen dining area and elegant formal dining room with a STRIKING COFFERED WOOD CEILING. The spacious primary suite offers a private sitting area, massive bath, and exceptional closet space, while custom hardwood stair rails add another layer of craftsmanship.
