Set amongst the treetops of the French Broad River Valley, this home is a beautiful blend of traditional and craftsman design. Sitting along a cul-de sac within the Ashley Woods neighborhood and convenient to all of South Asheville, this large home has five bedrooms with primary on main, a huge walkout basement and a back deck made for entertaining. On just over an acre of land, the back deck and stairs have recently been rebuilt with TimberTech Composite Decking. Take a walk down to your private firepit along the Orton Branch creek and listen to the wildlife that surrounds you. Built using a Superior Wall System with water seal, this home has plenty of flex space or storage areas. Neighborhood amenities include a community park with playground and pavilion. Truly a must see!
