Discover this simple, sturdy, and meticulously maintained home, lovingly built and owned by its original owners since 2018. Located in an eclectic community in the desirable Ridgecrest area of Black Mountain, this property offers low exterior maintenance and a no-nonsense approach to living. The interior is filled with natural light, featuring an open main level floor plan with impressive 10-foot ceilings. The main level also hosts the primary suite, providing convenient single-level living. Additional features include split bedrooms, beautiful hardwoods throughout, solid wood interior doors and a wonderful, cozy wood stove. The kitchen has beautiful stained cabinets with roll out shelving, under counter lights and quartz countertops. The full baths have quartz countertops and heated floors for those frosty mornings. Carolina closets systems in all closet/storage spaces. The home is complete with a 2-car garage and extra large utility workspace for projects/hobbies. As a bonus, there's a whole house generator in case of power loss. Enjoy the best of both worlds: outside of Black Mountain city limits, yet benefiting from municipal water, sewer, and trash services. Plus, there is No HOA. Commuting is a breeze with a two-minute drive to I-40, a five-minute drive to downtown Black Mountain, and an easy 25-minute drive to downtown Asheville. This is a property that truly must be seen to be fully appreciated and enjoyed.
