About this home
Solidly built and brimming with potential, this exceptional mountain retreat on 1.3 acres in coveted Upper Sondley represents one of the most compelling opportunities in the Asheville market today. With just a few thoughtful updates, this home could become your own private treehouse retreat. At this attractive price per square foot, you'll have plenty of flexibility to create a space that's uniquely yours. Lush trees and mature landscaping create a serene backdrop, while expansive picture windows pour sunlight throughout and peek-a-boo mountain views from the upper floor change beautifully with the seasons. The bones are outstanding: warm wood floors, an open kitchen with island and charming bay window breakfast nook, and two welcoming living rooms each anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Dual primary suites - one upstairs, one on the main level - offer exceptional flexibility, alongside a formal dining room, main level laundry, a private deck, and generous unfinished storage ready to be finished to your taste. A one-car garage on the main level and a two-car garage below provide ample parking. Set in the desirable Upper Sondley community with no HOA dues, tucked into scenic Haw Creek Valley where new sidewalks are underway, yet just minutes from downtown Asheville. Spacious, serene, and perfectly positioned, this home is a rare find.
