About this home

Excellent Opportunity in Swannanoa! Whether you're looking for a home with built-in income potential or a savvy investment property, this versatile duplex fits the bill. Tucked into a peaceful country setting just minutes from Warren Wilson College, scenic trails, and community parks—and only 12 minutes to both downtown Black Mountain and Asheville—the location blends convenience with charm. The updated upper-level unit offers a bright 1-bedroom, 1-bath studio layout with a cozy living area, a charming kitchen, and a private balcony off the bedroom (furniture can stay!). The lower-level unit, newly renovated and roughly twice the size of the upper, features a spacious bedroom and sitting area, a well-appointed eat-in kitchen, an office nook, and an updated bathroom. Both units share a convenient laundry area with exterior access, and storage is abundant: a large two-story shed beside the home, a smaller backyard shed, and an attached storage area on the lower level. This is a great setup for house hacking—live in one unit and rent the other to offset your mortgage—or keep both units rented for pure investment income. Prefer a single-family layout instead? See attachment with AI rendering of staircase addition. Also listed as Multiunit MLS 4425501.
