About this home
In The Cottages at Glen Oaks — Arden, NC 28704, minutes from Biltmore Park Town Square, dining, healthcare, and Asheville Regional Airport — this 2015 Arts and Crafts home pairs considered design with measurable efficiency of ownership. Fully paid passive solar panels keep the monthly electric bill exceptionally low. A Rinnai on-demand tankless water heater supplies unlimited hot water, and new flooring and a new back door — both under lifetime warranty — along with updated light fixtures and professional interior paint throughout mean the material work of moving in is already done. The 2,204-square-foot plan is anchored by a main-level primary suite, with dining, laundry, and a half bath alongside, so the essentials of daily living occupy a single floor. At its center, the vaulted great room draws natural light toward a gas-log fireplace and opens to a granite kitchen with stainless appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and a breakfast bar. The upper level adds two bedrooms, a full bath, and a bonus room equally suited to a home office, studio, or guest quarters. Outdoor living is deliberate rather than incidental: a covered front porch, a private rear deck with cafe lighting, and a stone-terraced yard with a fire-feature patio. Practical fundamentals are equally sound — two-car attached garage, city water and sewer, natural gas, and a $500-per-year HOA maintaining the community green and pergola. Taken together, the craftsmanship, the single-level plan, and the engineered efficiency present an uncommon proposition in an unbeatable South Asheville location.
