What's special
Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pisgah National Forest, this exceptional Arts & Crafts home offers a rare combination of peace, quality craftsmanship, and convenience in a sought-after South Asheville setting. Spanning more than 3,100 square feet, the thoughtfully designed floor plan features the ease of true one-level living, complemented by a versatile upper-level suite ideal for a fourth bedroom, private guest retreat, or bonus space. Located within a private gated community, residents enjoy exclusive access to resort-style amenities including a pool, sports courts, and scenic paths, perfect for staying active or unwinding close to home. Step out your door and onto nearby hiking trails, or relax in your own private sanctuary. The main living area is defined by vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a warm, inviting atmosphere centered around the fireplace. Hardwood floors extend throughout the main living area, while the renovated kitchen showcases an expansive island, stainless appliances, a dual-fuel range, and a custom tiled backsplash that adds a refined layer of detail. The primary suite offers a spacious retreat with a beautifully remodeled primary bath featuring heated tiled floors, a freestanding soaking tub, a walk-in tiled shower, dual vanities, and a custom walk-in closet. Additional main-level bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. A light-filled screened-in 3-season sunroom offers a quiet place to unwind while overlooking the natural surroundings. The home backs up to the Pisgah National Forest, providing a unique sense of privacy, complemented by winter mountain views. Set on a wooded lot with very little grass to maintain, the property offers a peaceful, low-maintenance setting. The three-car garage provides exceptional space for vehicles, storage, or outdoor gear. A whole-house generator adds an extra layer of peace of mind, while a new HVAC system installed in March enhances the home's comfort and efficiency. A rare opportunity to experience privacy, quality, and convenience in a sought-after South Asheville location.
