About this property
Sunrise Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Spacious Retreat Near Downtown Boone
Welcome to First Light - Sunrise Mountain Views and Spacious Comfort Minutes from Downtown Boone
Tucked into a wooded mountainside just north of downtown Boone, First Light offers the perfect blend of mountain seclusion and in-town convenience. With long-range mountain views and a location less than a mile from restaurants, shopping, and parks, guests can enjoy the peaceful beauty of the High Country while remaining close to all the attractions that make Boone such a beloved destination. Appalachian State University and Kidd Brewer Stadium are less than two miles away, and popular spots such as Appalachian Ski Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad, and downtown Blowing Rock are just a short drive from the home. Hiking and biking trails, rivers for fishing and swimming, and endless mountain adventures are also nearby.
Inside, the spacious main level encourages gathering and relaxation after a day of exploration. The living room features vaulted ceilings, a stacked-stone gas fireplace, leather seating, and a TV, creating a warm, inviting central space. Just beyond, a second family room includes another gas-log fireplace, comfortable leather furniture, and a pool table for fun evenings together. Between the two living areas is a spacious dining area and a well-equipped kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a basin sink, and ample room for preparing meals for the whole group.
One of the standout features of this home is the covered screened porch, where indoor comfort meets mountain air in every season. Furnished with a leather sofa and dining table, it's an ideal spot to enjoy morning coffee, evening conversations, or serene mountain sunrises overlooking the long-range views. The spacious main level deck also offers additional outdoor seating, a gas grill, and a picnic table for convenient outdoor dining.
Downstairs, guests will find an additional family room with a TV, a coffee station, and a laundry area, providing larger groups with extra space to spread out. Step outside onto the lower patio to enjoy the hot tub, challenge friends to a game of ping pong, or gather around the backyard flagstone fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs beneath the mountain sky.
First Light comfortably accommodates families and groups with a variety of sleeping arrangements. The main level master suite features a King bed, mountain views, and a private bathroom. Also on the main floor are a second King bedroom, a Queen bedroom, and two hallway bathrooms with glass-enclosed step-in showers. Downstairs, the bunk rooms are ideal for kids and larger groups, including one room with a twin-over-Queen bunk and another with two twin-over-twin bunks. A full-sized sleeper sofa in the lower family room provides additional sleeping space.
Additional notes: - Three dogs are welcome with an additional pet fee, so your four-legged family members can join the mountain getaway as well. - During the winter months (October to March), a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle is strongly recommended, and chains may be necessary during snow or icy conditions. - The home is equipped with a single exterior security camera facing the private road approach for security purposes only.
From crisp mountain sunrises on the screened porch to evenings around the fire pit beneath the stars, First Light invites you to slow down and enjoy the best of the Boone mountains.
