This one-of-a-kind multi-level home blends original character with thoughtful updates that feel stylish, functional, and easy to live in. Created for connection, main-level living gains fantastic views of the lush gardens, a well-crafted sidewalk entry and beautiful landscape design framed with native, heritage and perennial plantings. This eye-catching backdrop, paired with the striking contrast of floor-to-ceiling brick, add both texture and dimension to this beautiful sunny space. Maple cabinetry and large scale 24 x 24 tiles complement an amazing eat-in kitchen with great storage and granite counters that align beautifully for food prep or batch cooking. An incredible connection to the adjacent 15 x 20 deck turns hosting, gatherings or game nights into an exceptional laid-back, almost effortless experience. The upper split pairs a thoughtfully designed layout and natural flow between main living and across rich hardwood floors into a retreat of rest and relaxation. Retro tiles line shower walls, back splash and floors creating a lasting, timeless appeal. New, design-forward on-trend paint selections bring a sense of calm and elevation to each space and align perfectly with the characteristics of this 1969 split-level home. Lower level living offers so much more with a large den, fireplace, two additional bedrooms, full bath and a 212 sq ft (unheated) laundry room - ideal for storage, hobbies or crafting. A walk-out basement provides easy ingress / egress to an array of outdoor opportunities and sweet, fenced-in play area. A true homesteader’s paradise, this expansive one-half acre opens to mature, native landscapes, edible plant varieties, fruit trees and flat sunny green space(s), perfect for gardening or play. An adorable 2-story playhouse sits close enough for power, yet remains private and amongst the trees. Embrace this opportunity for a remote office, art, yoga, content or music studio! An additional, 8 x 10 shed, might also re-purpose for plants, potting or pottery studio. A new 6 x 18 FT paver patio marks the spot for early morning coffee or tea and a great read. The 2-car detached garage cannot be missed, creating added flexibility for gear, wired workshop, home gym or brewery - your retro stove is already in place! Just around the corner, The Big Berea hiking trail, a 1.8 mile hike popular with walkers, runners, dog owners and locals who want a quick outdoor escape. This location is also only 5-minutes from the widely celebrated trails along the Warren Wilson campus. Your scenic drive home falls alongside open farm fields, valley views and creekside settings, and is without fail, one the most picturesque in the Riceville / Swannanoa Valley. A short, 10 minute commute from the VA Hospital and everyday conveniences along Tunnel Rd, this location also offers an easy connection to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Downtown Asheville - known for its amazing food, craft beer and vibrant local culture.
