About this home
Beautiful Leicester location, just 25 minutes to downtown Asheville! Located in the wonderful Sunrise Valley neighborhood, this home—family-owned for decades—features traditional Appalachian-style dovetail square log and stone construction, spanning 4,600+ sq ft on a level 1.76-acre lot with a low-maintenance metal roof. Enjoy mature landscaping and spacious green space perfect for pets and outdoor fun! This charming 1980s retro split-level design offers an upper main level featuring a cozy formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and dining area, a sunroom overlooking the swimming pool side yard, two guest bedrooms, and a primary suite with its own covered private porch. The kitchen opens up to a huge great room with another dining area and multiple sitting spaces—ideal for lively gatherings! The lower level, directly accessible from the driveway, includes a professional home office with a separate entrance, a den with a wood-burning ceramic stove, a private guest bedroom with an outside entrance and covered porch, an additional guest bedroom, a full bathroom, and 3 large storage rooms previously used for business operations. Exterior highlights include an expansive back deck with stunning wooded sunset views over a neighboring farm, a fenced-in side yard with an in-ground pool (currently non-operational), an attached oversized two-car garage on the 1st level, and a separate workshop with an unfinished apartment above equipped with plumbing and electrical ready for your custom touches. This is a fantastic home for artists, multi-generational living, or anyone who loves ample room to breathe inside and out! Exceptionally functional and priced to accommodate your desired upgrades.
