Property Description
Ten minutes from the heart of Downtown Asheville and five minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this mountain-centric, farm-style cottage offers a uniquely cozy and convenient escape for everyday living. Nestled in a spring cove adjacent to the Pisgah National Forest and perched just above and beyond the main stream of city activity, the cottage is adorned with a beautifully crafted stone-masonry retaining wall, fireplace and planters; a fenced-in yard; stylishly gated front entrance to a large covered porch; additional outdoor living space; two driveways; five parking spots; storage building; trickling brooks; and a deep mountain spring source abundantly supplying the home with high-quality, delicious alkaline water. The grounds have been upgraded for endurance; hardscaped for very low maintenance; and dressed in decorative stone, colorful shrubs, and young evergreen trees. This move-in-ready, two-bedroom, one-bath home features new appliances, a vintage black iron-and-stone fireplace, freshly refinished cast-iron soaking tub, metal roof, open floor plan, large windows, skylights, and a vaulted ceiling, and is newly furnished in mid-century modern theme with abundant smart storage solutions included. The Gem of Avondale is ready!
