Take a fresh look! Complete exterior & interior repaint just completed this month!! Rare Opportunity!! Only listing like this in downtown Banner Elk; Set up as a duplex (but could be used as a single family with a rental income apartment (recently rented both units for total $3000/month! No lease/ tenants in place now to make it easy to show/ sell), or with the stairs from the main level down to the workshop/garage, it could easily be finished out as a 5/3 home with an extra living/kitchen below) that is walking distance to town!!!
