Quintessential and hip, this mid-century bungalow is peacefully perched in Malvern Hills, a hugely popular neighborhood in West Asheville known for its sidewalks, wide streets, walking trails, and neighborhood park. This cheerful bungalow offers a delightful blend of mid-century modern character, multi-functional spaces, and thoughtful updates. Inside, original knotty pine walls and built-in cabinetry preserve the warmth and character of the home’s original era, while two bedrooms and one bath are complemented by flexible living spaces, including a bright sunroom currently serving as a sewing room and office, plus a conditioned room in the basement that provides additional storage. Outside, a vibrant wildflower garden and a fully fenced yard create a magical backdrop for enjoying the welcoming screened porch, added in 2019. The home’s new owners will benefit from a decade of thoughtful stewardship and consistent updates. Highlights include a 2019 roof, 2018 furnace, 2025 gas fireplace logs, and a 2025 water heater. (A complete list of improvements is available for review.)
