Welcome to this beautifully updated home just minutes from downtown Black Mountain, historic Montreat, and the Greenway. Tucked away on quiet Lake Avenue, a dead-end road removed from through-traffic, this property offers both convenience and privacy. Step inside to a stylishly renovated kitchen with newer appliances, refreshed baths, special window treatments, and updated lighting throughout. A fenced yard and fresh landscaping enhance the peaceful feel of the backyard, where you can enjoy morning coffee on the private deck and anticipate a burst of perennials this spring. The main level features an airy living room with a vented gas fireplace, a serene primary suite, a guest bedroom and bath, and a versatile flex space ideal for a walk-in closet, pantry, office, or playroom. The spacious basement adds a family room with a small office, an additional bedroom, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry room. The single-car garage is equally impressive, complete with a wall of stainless steel pegboard, a workbench with built-in storage, and additional shelving. A new roof will be installed in December. A pre-listing inspection is provided. Move-in ready and thoughtfully improved, this home offers the perfect blend of walkable Black Mountain living and a quiet, private retreat. Property was not damaged during Hurricane Helene.
