Property Description
Situated on a generous 0.25-acre wooded lot, just minutes from downtown Asheville, this inviting West Asheville ranch-style home pairs classic charm with thoughtful, modern upgrades. The front door opens to a light-filled, flowing floor plan with beautifully refinished hardwood floors, where the bright living and dining areas connect directly to a kitchen packed with potential. The home is dialed-in for energy efficiency with replacement windows, a new Bosch heat pump, Bosch A/C, and an EV charger plug. Downstairs, the basement offers a bonus room, ample storage, and a garage equipped for a workshop, while the good-sized bedrooms upstairs are filled with abundant natural light. Outdoors, the lush, private backyard and large front yard feature mature landscaping with plenty of room for gardens, a storage shed, and wide-driveway parking on a quiet street. Best of all, you are just one mile from the vibrant eateries and shopping of West Asheville, while the Hominy Creek Greenway trail is only 0.2 mile away, offering the perfect spot for nature walks or exercising Fido.
