About this home
Mountain Simplicity Minutes from Everything Asheville Has to Offer Tucked into the quiet community of Leicester, this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath home delivers the WNC lifestyle without the Asheville price tag. Sitting on a level, usable lot, the property gives you the flat yard you've been searching for, whether that means a garden, firepit hangout, or just room to breathe. This house features a spacious workshop ready for your tools, hobbies, or weekend projects. A covered carport keeps your vehicle protected year-round. Inside, the layout is efficient and comfortable, everything you need, nothing wasted. Step outside the neighborhood and you're minutes from Noble Cider's taproom on New Leicester Highway, the trails at Lake Powhatan and Bent Creek, and the French Broad River. Downtown Asheville's restaurants, breweries, River Arts District, and live music are just 11 miles away, about a 15-minute drive. Mission Hospital is right in that same corridor, making this location as practical as it is scenic. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a hobbyist craving a serious workspace, or someone looking to plant roots near Asheville without paying Asheville prices, this one is worth a look.
