Property Description

Make all your friends jealous; this is the one you've been waiting for! Don't miss the porches, yard, and studio! Thoughtfully designed for buyers seeking a simpler, low-maintenance lifestyle, this charming updated West Asheville cottage lives larger than its square footage thanks to nearly 550 square feet of covered porches and expansive decking, a detached flex studio, and a sunny, level 0.27-acre fenced lot that seamlessly extends the living space outdoors. Offering the perfect blend of artistic character, custom finishes, and modern comfort, this move-in-ready home features an open floor plan with an easy, inviting flow, quartz countertops, and beautiful solid oak interior doors that add warmth and timeless quality throughout. Enjoy the best of indoor-outdoor living with covered front and back porches that expand your living space nearly year-round. Sip your morning coffee on the front porch while taking in mountain views, then unwind in the evening on the covered back porch or sun-filled deck overlooking your private backyard oasis. The spacious fenced yard offers room to garden, entertain, let pets roam, or gather around the fire pit under the stars. The detached 250-square-foot studio offers exceptional flexibility as a home office, art studio, guest space, fitness room, or creative retreat. Complete with a metal roof, electric fireplace, and a new Mitsubishi mini-split (2026), it's a true extension of the home's living space. Thoughtfully cared for and meticulously maintained, this home lets you spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying everything convenient West Asheville has to offer. Recent improvements include refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior and exterior paint, new fencing, new decking, professional landscaping, a new roof (2025), and a new mini-split in the studio (2026). Additional storage is available in the unfinished basement. Located just a short stroll from Haywood Road's beloved restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and local shopping, you'll also be just one block from West Asheville Park and only 3/4 mile to the Hominy Creek Greenway. This is the rare opportunity to enjoy the convenience of a walkable West Asheville lifestyle with exceptional outdoor living, flexible bonus space, and a home that truly lives larger than its footprint. This one has it all!
