Tucked into a quiet, private setting less than 7 miles from downtown Asheville, this thoughtfully updated home delivers a rare blend of premium features at an exceptional value. The approach alone sets it apart with scenic drives framed by long-range mountain views creating a daily “wow” moment before you even arrive at home. Inside, the main level offers a bright, seamless layout with warm hardwood floors and a beautifully updated chef’s kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless appliances with a gas range, and a functional island. The living spaces feel both comfortable and elevated, flowing easily to the expansive covered deck, an ideal spot for morning coffee or an evening unwinding surrounded by nature. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite and two additional bedrooms provide flexibility, while the large bonus room offers the perfect space for a media room, studio, or work-from-home setup. The partially finished basement adds even more versatility (currently a wellness retreat with a sauna and cold plunge that are optional to convey with a strong offer!) and a huge unfinished area with garage door access making it perfect for a workshop space or generous additional storage area. All of this is set on a peaceful, wooded lot, bordered along the back by a soothing mountain stream. Privacy without sacrificing convenience to shopping, dining, and everyday amenities plus there are no known STR restrictions in this prime vacationing location. If you’ve been waiting for a home that feels private, upgraded, and just a little bit special, but without the premium price tag, this one delivers.
