About this home

Charming 1.5-story farmhouse-style home, thoughtfully updated in 2022, offering the character of an older home with the comfort of a 2022 renovation and updated major systems and roofing. Set on 1.05 acres in an elevated, private setting with no homes immediately beside or behind the property, the home enjoys beautiful year-round mountain views, spectacular fall foliage, and frequent wildlife sightings. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a spacious covered front porch, a private side-yard deck with space for seating and grilling, and a private deck off the upstairs primary suite. A rear entry door with connecting path provides easy access for unloading groceries. The spacious primary suite features high ceilings, French doors to its private deck overlooking a neighboring pasture and wooded landscape, and a generous en-suite bath with dual-sink vanity, water closet, and large closet. The main living area offers a flexible open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, and French doors connecting to the side deck and yard. A comfortable family room provides a cozy space for movie nights, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath are privately positioned off the hallway. The bright kitchen features a peninsula with casual seating, butcher block countertops, abundant cabinetry, open shelving, upgraded appliances, and a built-in beverage cooler. A separate utility room provides laundry and pantry space with a large stainless-steel sink. Light filtering blinds in main living windows. Remote-controlled, rechargeable blackout blinds in all bedrooms provide added privacy and light control. An unusually accessible crawlspace is semi-encapsulated and provides substantial storage space and convenient access to systems. A dehumidifier is used year-round by the owners as a matter of personal preference. Despite its peaceful mountain setting, the property offers fiber-optic internet and reliable cell service, with groceries and pharmacy services approximately 8 minutes away, downtown Asheville about 15 minutes, and Asheville Regional Airport approximately 30 minutes. The result is a rare combination of privacy, mountain scenery, convenient access, and modern connectivity.
