About this home

Whether your vision is restoration, renovation, or simply enjoying a classic mid-century home on acreage, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find within a ten-minute drive to downtown Asheville. Built in 1969, this home is mid-century modern, so many killer features, note the brick planter beds stretching across the front of the home leading to the distinctive angled brick entry wall. They really don't build them like this anymore... cedar-lined entry closet, retro light fixtures, warm wood accents, this home has remained remarkably true to its era. The kitchen and baths are original, creating a rare opportunity to enjoy a genuine mid-century time capsule ready for your finishing touches. The elevated site offers wonderful outdoor living with a spacious front deck that is partially covered, abundant parking, and tree lined long-range up-views in the summer and a more panoramic view when leaves fall. The main level if this home features three bedrooms, full hall bath, half bath in primary bedroom, and a flexible bonus room ideal as a fourth bedroom, home office, etc. Downstairs, the full unfinished basement offers excellent ceiling height, a second full bath, workshop space, another single garage, and an easy opportunity to create additional finished living space. The 2.72-acre property continues to rise behind the home, which amplifies the view even more! Several gently sloping to level areas—including a generous garden site just above the home in the back, and expansive land to build, explore, or simply enjoy the outdoors. The property includes two outbuildings; a potting shed and the additional building has high ceiling carport with an additional lockable storage space. Ample space for all your hobbies, toys, or recreational vehicles/equipment. Come experience 142 Avondale Road for yourself. Easy to show.
