A rare live/work commercial opportunity on Beech Mountain Parkway with full C-2 zoning and a transferable Special Use Permit allowing residential occupancy. Completely renovated to the studs in 2015—including a new roof installed that same year—this 4,359 sq ft building offers modern systems, including natural gas service, a tankless hot water heater, three-zone central heating and air-conditioning, and Town of Banner Elk water/sewer. The flexible layout and updated infrastructure provide turnkey readiness for a wide range of commercial uses. High-visibility frontage on the main corridor offers year-round exposure to resort traffic, second-homeowners, and local residents. The main level includes a welcoming reception area with a gas fireplace, a convenient service kitchen (all components except a stove), and a fully finished 1,262 sq ft apartment featuring 2 bedrooms and a spacious full bath with a separate tub and shower—ideal for owner-occupancy, staff housing, or supplemental rental income. The lower level includes a separate entrance, two half-baths, and a dedicated shower room with three individual showers and a double vanity—originally designed to support a hostel operation—offering exceptional flexibility for fitness, wellness, staff facilities, or specialty commercial uses. Ample parking, beautifully landscaped grounds, and room to build an additional structure (approx. 16'×40' garage/storage) enhance long-term potential. One of the few available commercial properties in Banner Elk/Beech Mountain—adaptable, visible, and ready for your business vision. Seller may consider a lease.
