Fully renovated private cottage with a location that can't be beat! Just outside city limits, this home is tucked away at the end of a quiet road, but is only a 13 minute drive to downtown Asheville, 5 minutes to I-40/240 Interchange, less than 5 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway and 17 minutes to the quaint town of Black Mountain. This property is set up for a full time residence or can be used as a short or long term rental.
It is packed with premium features and amenities, including: beautifully crafted stone-masonry; a large fenced-in yard; gated front entrance to the covered porch; additional outdoor living space; wrap around driveway; plenty of parking; storage building; trickling stream; and a mountain spring source abundantly supplying high-quality, delicious alkaline water.
The grounds have been upgraded for endurance; hardscaped for very low maintenance; and dressed in decorative stone, colorful shrubs, and young evergreen trees. The back yard offers rich soil and ample sunlight for terraced gardening, and a large area already prepared for the addition of a carport, workshop, or patio space.
This move-in-ready, two-bedroom, one-bath home features new appliances, freshly refinished cast-iron soaking tub, vaulted ceiling, and includes a Nordic - style furniture package, complimented by many smart- storage solutions. This well laid out floorpan lives comfortably.
