461 Galax Circle is a two-story mountain cottage near the entrance of Appalachian Ski Mountain, with easy access to downtown Blowing Rock, Boone, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Moses Cone. From front porch to fire pit, it lives like a mountain cabin, with the updated comforts that make it easy to live in - and a place you will love to call home. The main level offers comfortable one-level living with a bedroom and full bath, an open living area with a stone fireplace and gas logs, and a bright kitchen with newer appliances and a roomy dining area. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The sellers completed important updates, including new flooring in the upstairs bedrooms, kitchen, and both baths; fresh paint throughout; a new downstairs vanity; widened laundry access; updated lighting, outlets, and switches; ceiling fans; chimney work; a new composite Trex back deck; tree removal and a leveled yard; a graveled driveway; and a custom animal-resistant trash enclosure. Use it year-round, as a mountain getaway, or as a short-term rental. The home is already set up for guests, with furnishings, bedding, TVs, outdoor furniture, and a fire pit. In 2025, its first year in a rental program with these owners, the sellers grossed over $56,000. For 2026 YTD, they have grossed over $38,000 so far. Life has simply shifted them out of the area. Mountain cabin feel. Modern convenience. Minutes from all the area offers. I think you will like this one! VRBO Listing- https://shorturl.at/oTZ8l
