About this home

Significant price improvement on this 5-bedroom mountain retreat bordering the Blue Ridge Parkway! Privacy meets convenience in this spacious cabin style home on over an acre, just minutes from downtown Asheville. Inside, the home features a generous layout with multiple living areas and five bedrooms, offering flexibility for large households, guest space, or a home office setup. The two-story design with a finished basement creates room to spread out, entertain, or accommodate multi-generational living. A well-lit, updated kitchen is a focal point, while spacious covered porches and decks provide endless opportunities for outdoor living. Being outside city limits also allows this home to be used for short term rentals - and this home was successfully operated as one for several years! It's also has mid term rental history on Furnished Finder. People just LOVE this home! Special features of the home include a wood burning fireplace in the living room, an entryway sunroom with wood stove for cozy mornings, a conservatory room complete with a row of casement windows and skylights for your plants, and a garage outfitted for cycling enthusiasts. For those seeking a rustic cabin feel with the convenience of modern living, this is the place!
