A wraparound porch, exposed beams, warm wood floors and a stone fireplace set the tone at this inviting Fleetwood mountain cottage, perfectly positioned between Boone and West Jefferson. Set on just over an acre with a beautifully usable yard, mature trees and established landscaping, the property offers a sense of privacy and peaceful mountain living without sacrificing convenience. Step inside to a light-filled vaulted great room where architectural beams and a striking stone fireplace create an immediately warm and welcoming focal point. Generous windows bring the outdoors in, while the wraparound porch extends the living space and offers the perfect setting for morning coffee, quiet afternoons or evenings surrounded by the trees. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, an eye-catching tile backsplash and updated appliances, with an easy flow into the adjoining dining and living spaces for everyday living and entertaining. The main-level primary suite makes one-level living easy, offering a walk-in closet, additional closet and secluded bath with a large soaking tub and separate shower. Laundry and a convenient half bath are also located on the main level. Upstairs, an open loft overlooking the great room creates a charming spot for a reading nook, office or additional lounge space, along with two spacious bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill-style full bath and plenty of storage. The full walkout basement provides more than 1,200 square feet of unfinished space along with the one-car garage, offering exceptional flexibility for a workshop, hobbies, outdoor gear, and storage. Whether you're searching for a full-time mountain home, a weekend escape or an investment property, 752 James Street offers a hard-to-find combination of character, usable land, flexible space and inviting indoor-outdoor living—all approximately 10 minutes from West Jefferson and 20 minutes from Boone, with easy access to dining, shopping, hiking, fishing and everything the High Country has to offer.
