Discover your eco-friendly cottage retreat and edible native plant paradise in Asheville’s vibrant River Arts District — just steps from New Belgium Brewery and minutes to both Downtown and West Asheville. In less than 30 seconds you can grab a meal from a food truck or enjoy a cold brew across the street. Situated along the 8.9-mile French Broad River Greenway and bike path, this home connects you to everything Asheville has to offer — no car required (though you’ll have off-street parking plus ample free public parking across the street). From your covered front porch or private back deck relax and enjoy live concerts— all ending by 8pm, so your evenings stay peaceful.
This compact 1BR/1BA, 640 sq ft cottage, lives large with smart design, comfort, and sustainability. Eco-conscious features include bamboo flooring, no-VOC finishes, a tankless water heater, recycled composite siding, and a metal roof built to last for decades. Garden lovers will appreciate multiple raised beds (including one just off the kitchen for fresh herbs), rain barrels, composting, and a fully landscaped yard with abundant native and edible plantings, plus stone pathways. The private, fully fenced yard is ideal for relaxation — and perfect for furry friends to play safely.
Inside, natural light fills the airy living area with high ceilings and a cozy treehouse-like bedroom. The kitchen features a farmhouse sink, tile countertops with wormy chestnut trim, a custom breakfast bar with storage, and a natural gas oven/range. The tiled full bath offers a tub/shower combo with water-saving fixtures. Thoughtful, artsy details throughout make this cottage truly one of a kind. This is a Rare opportunity— Owned and loved by the same owner since it was built!
Live your best Asheville life here!
