373 The Settlement

If you've been looking for a quality mountain home under a million, this is your unicorn. Set on 1.64 acres between Boone and Blowing Rock, this Craftsman-style home is full of character. From the exposed beams and tongue-and-groove ceilings to the stained glass accents, built-in bookcases, and impressive stonework, there’s something interesting around every corner. Large south-facing windows bring in great natural light and make the wooded setting feel like part of the home. The main living spaces are open and welcoming, with a stone fireplace at the center and plenty of room to gather. The dining room is surrounded by windows and feels like you're sitting right in the trees. The kitchen offers ample storage, and the oversized mudroom is one of those spaces you'll appreciate more and more over time. The floor plan gives everyone a little breathing room, with a bedroom and full bath on the main level, a private primary suite upstairs, and additional bedrooms, bonus spaces, and storage downstairs. Outside, you'll find a mix of covered and open deck space, custom built-in seating, covered parking, easy access, and room for all your mountain gear. Recent updates include refinished hardwood floors (2026), a new HVAC system (2025), exterior paint (2023), and roof installed in 2022. Conveniently located between Boone and Blowing Rock, it offers a level of character and craftsmanship that's becoming harder to find. Short term rentals are not permitted.
