This three bedroom, two bathroom residence is on sale and according to the agent, “this superlative warehouse conversion in “Leicester House”, an historic 1880′s building, provides privacy and vast spaces.
It features soaring warehouse ceilings, huge original arched timber windows, exposed red brick walls, imposing brick archways of 65 cm depth and high gloss timber floors. By day it is imposing and by night dramatic.”
The exposed brick walls and the high concrete ceilings make this apartment feel like a loft. Update the interior with contemporary furniture and make this apartment a real winner!

Three appraisers involved in county purchases of property assembled for the new high school tract had their licenses suspended by a state board.
The North Carolina Appraisal Board’s August bulletin announced the disciplinary actions against Hope W. Teaster, Pattie J. Tennille and David R. Roberts.
According to the bulletin and consent order, Roberts performed four appraisals for Watauga County in 2006. Roberts’ appraisal was for a 59-acre tract, valued at $60,000 an acre and noted the “highest and best use” of the property was retail, office or possible multi-family development, though the Town of Boone zoning at that time wouldn’t have allowed those uses. The appraisal board determined the appraisal was based on “an undisclosed hypothetical condition or extraordinary assumption.” The bulletin also said that Roberts hadn’t noted a prior sale of the property in 2004.

The DOT is planning to remove the row of shops on the Dan’l Boone Inn corner, to allow a new right turn lane.
According to the Uniform Relocation Act, tenants will be eligible to collect up to $10,000 in reestablishment expenses, up to $2,500 in search expenses and will also be reimbursed for any and all moving costs. Tenants could also choose to settle for a single, one-time payout of $20,000 to cover all moving and reestablishment expenses.
Here’s the High Country Press article
The resolution notes the county doesn’t expect property tax increases to repay the loan, since it is selling the current high school property. The construction price for facilities is set at a guaranteed maximum of $47.2 million, with another $11.2 million committed in land purchases, site testing, studies and design work. A public hearing on the proposal is scheduled for the next regular meeting at 6 p.m. on Feb. 19.
