About this home
Well-positioned between downtown Asheville and downtown Waynesville, 85 Guy Way offers a rare combination of usable land, mountain views, recent system updates, and whole-house backup power on approximately 0.95 acre in the Mystic Cove subdivision. The setting gives the property a strong balance of accessibility and breathing room, with a largely usable yard and convenient access. Inside, the home offers a comfortable 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout with engineered hardwood flooring installed in 2023. The floor plan is practical for everyday living, while the unusually tall crawl space creates additional storage potential and convenient access to mechanical systems. The outdoor setting is one of the home's defining features. The approximately 0.95-acre lot is largely usable, offering a spacious yard, mountain views, and room to enjoy the property without the steep terrain commonly found in mountain communities. Recent improvements add meaningful value and long-term confidence. The HVAC system was replaced in 2023. A new water heater, pressure tank, and water filtration system were installed in 2022. In 2025, a whole-house generator was added, supported by an owned, buried 500-gallon propane tank, providing reliable backup power when needed. The location is another major advantage. 85 Guy Way sits nearly midway between downtown Asheville and downtown Waynesville, creating convenient access to employment centers, restaurants, shopping, medical services, outdoor recreation, and the broader Western North Carolina region.
