The Home

Exquisite living spaces.

Kitchen

A dream for the home chef.

At the heart of the home is a spacious, modern kitchen with generous counter space and storage — anchored by a substantial island with seating for five, a deep farmhouse sink, and warm sage cabinetry set against reclaimed-timber ceiling beams.

Wall ovens, a smooth-top range, and a dedicated utility room just off the kitchen keep everyday life running quietly in the background.

Living

A classic wood-burning fireplace.

The layout flows naturally into an inviting living space anchored by a full-height stone fireplace — the ultimate setting for crisp Carolina evenings, family movie nights, or curling up with a good book.

Built-in shelving, a wall of windows onto the wooded slope, and a separate upstairs living room give the household room to spread out.

Fire shown is staged.

Outdoors

375 square feet of open air.

Step directly outside onto the wood deck to enjoy private views over your own wooded backyard terrain — no rear neighbors, just green.

Out front, a covered porch, raised garden beds, and established pollinator plantings round out a half acre that feels considerably larger than it measures.

Rare Opportunity

Proven income. Shovel-ready ADU site.

The site formerly hosted a 750-square-foot guest house leased at $1,800 per month, lost during Hurricane Helene. What remains is the hard part, already done.

Cleared, leveled and graded gravel building pad at the rear of the property, ready for construction

The building pad today — cleared, leveled, graded and served.

The Location

Removed from the bustle. Never far from it.

While the home feels remarkably private, you are moments from everything central Asheville has to offer — Mission Hospital, premier shopping, a vibrant array of local restaurants, grocery stores and medical centers, and a quick drive straight into the heart of downtown.
