Built in 2021, this move-in-ready Arts and Crafts–style home sits on a private .72-acre lot in The Ridge, a gated community in Leicester, NC, just minutes from Asheville. This 1.5-story home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths with true main-level living: a primary suite, a guest bedroom, and a flex room suited to a home office are all on the main floor, with a second bedroom and full ensuite bath upstairs. The great room's vaulted ceilings and wall of windows bring in natural light around a gas fireplace, opening directly into a well-equipped kitchen with a large island, stainless appliances, and a dining area that leads out to the covered porch. The main-level primary suite includes a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and dual vanities, while the upstairs bedroom offers a private ensuite for added flexibility. Outside, the .72-acre lot and covered porch make for excellent outdoor living, with mountain views and space to relax or entertain. The Ridge community offers resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, outdoor pool, picnic area, playground, and basketball court, all within a gated, privately maintained community. A two-car garage complete with an EV charger and quality site-built construction complete this Buncombe County home. Located approximately 10–12 miles from downtown Asheville and about 15 miles from Weaverville, this property offers mountain living with quick access to city conveniences.
