About this home

Excellent Opportunity in Swannanoa! Whether you’re looking for a home that offers flexibility and extra income or a smart investment property, this versatile home fits the bill. 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—this location perfectly blends convenience and charm. The updated upper-level unit features 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 twice the size of the upper, includes a spacious bedroom and sitting area, a well-appointed kitchen with eat-in dining space, an office nook, and an updated bathroom. Both units share a convenient laundry area with exterior access. Additional storage abounds with three separate spaces—a large two-story shed beside the home, a smaller backyard shed, and an attached storage area on the lower level. Also listed as SFR MLS 4425261.
