In West Asheville, behind a deep-red Arts and Crafts facade, this 2018-built home carries more character than its square footage lets on. Climb the front steps to a covered porch with live bark accent walls — the kind of arrival that your friends will notice. Inside, the main level opens up. Warm LVP floors run from the foyer through a sun-filled living room and into a kitchen you can actually cook in: gray shaker cabinets, stainless appliances, and an easy flow to the dining area, where a glass door pulls you out to the deck. The main-level primary bedroom and bath with custom tile shower and glass door sit just off the entry while a powder room with stackable laundry is conveniently right across the hall. Upstairs offers two spacious guest rooms or a home office with vaulted ceilings and full walk-thru bath. Out back, the elevated deck is shaded and private — morning coffee, an evening grill, green as far as you can see. Below, the flat, partially fenced yard gives you room to play while covered parking, storage, and a second entry to the main level under the house gives you all the options. The bones are low maintenance: built in 2018, metal roof, fiber cement siding, heat pump, city water and sewer, RM6 zoning, and no HOA — a rare bit of flexibility this close to town. Just minutes to Haywood Road, about 4 miles to downtown and the River Arts District, with the Blue Ridge Parkway and the WNC Farmers Market also close by. City-close, mountain-easy.
