The condo itself has recently received a fresh exterior paint job and also features a new roof, new deck boards and new railings, along with an encapsulated crawl space, so there is no long list of projects waiting for the next owner. One of the standout features is the spacious covered outdoor living room—an inviting extension of the home that essentially gives you a second living area. With plenty of room for comfortable seating, a TV and entertaining, it’s the perfect place for morning coffee, an afternoon with friends, or simply relaxing in the cool mountain air. The location within Mill Ridge is hard to beat. The swimming pool and tennis courts are a stone’s throw away, making them incredibly convenient to enjoy. At just $175 per month, the association fee is an exceptional value and includes water, sewer, access to on-site dumpsters, and use of the pool and tennis courts. You’re also just a short drive from area ski resorts, hiking and outdoor recreation, including the beautiful Profile Trail at Grandfather Mountain. Boone, Banner Elk, restaurants, shopping and everything the High Country has to offer are all within easy reach. This property would be a great fit for a first-time homeowner, parents wanting a comfortable furnished home for a college student, someone looking for a weekend or seasonal getaway, or anyone wanting an easy lock-and-leave mountain home. With two distinct living areas, furnishings already in place, great community amenities and a location that puts mountain recreation close by, this Mill Ridge condo offers an unusually easy way to start enjoying the High Country from day one.
