An exceptional in-town retreat offering the best of Asheville living—convenient to West Asheville and downtown, yet surrounded by mature trees, mountain views, and beautifully maintained outdoor spaces. This spacious 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers over 2,500 square feet, including a fully finished lower-level living space with its own kitchen, bedroom, full bath, and separate entrance—ideal for extended family, guests, additional living space, or potential rental use.
The main level features a bright living room with gas-log fireplace and large windows overlooking the shaded backyard and mountain views. The living room flows into the dining area and well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops, large pantry, and direct access to the back deck. A half bath completes the main level.
Upstairs, a generous loft/family room provides flexible living space, while the private primary suite offers a spacious ensuite bath with dual vanity, walk-in closet, and impressive tiled walk-in shower with river-stone flooring. A second bedroom, full hall bath, and laundry room complete the upper level.
The fully finished lower level offers exceptional flexibility with its own interior and exterior access. Previously used as a short-term rental, it includes a living room, full kitchen, bedroom, full bath, covered patio, and separate entrance and driveway. Use it as part of the main home, a private space for family or guests, or a potential rental.
Outside, the .19-acre lot features mature trees, terraced garden areas, and a peaceful setting. A large driveway and side driveway provide multiple parking spaces, plus a garage on the main level. Enjoy the best of West Asheville with Haywood Road’s popular restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and local businesses less than 1 mile away, while downtown Asheville is under 10 minutes from home. RiverLink Park, Bent Creek, and the NC Arboretum are also nearby. With its versatile lower level and unbeatable location, this beautifully maintained home offers exceptional flexibility and easy access to everything Asheville has to offer.
