Don't miss this 1940s cozy Kenilworth cottage, a stones throw to all Tunnel Road/East Asheville amenities and 5 minutes to Downtown Asheville. Smart one level floor plan with a fresh white color palette lives light and bright. Home features gleaming hardwoods, two bedrooms, updated bathroom, spacious eat-in kitchen + wonderful living room with beaverboard. By Springtime, this low maintenance yard will be a vibrant oasis full of fragrant flowers and blooms. Hydrangeas, Crape Myrtles, Camellias, Cherry trees, day lilies + rose garden! Charming back porch + covered front porch connects to sunny deck. The detached garage was converted to a storage space but has potential to be a studio, home office or converted back to a garage. Tons of recent updates: new roof in 2016 (approx), HVAC 2015 (approx) and water heater is less than 5 years old. This is an excellent alternative for clients looking for a condo. Great STR/investment opportunity in one of Asheville's most coveted neighborhoods!
