The house

Old bones, every system new.

Single-level living with a real front porch, a white farmhouse kitchen, and a back deck that opens onto a long, private yard.

The work behind the walls is what sets this one apart. Plumbing and electrical were fully redone in 2026 and permitted, with a new HVAC system, new water heater and a new sewer line. Every appliance is brand new, including the washer and dryer. City water and sewer.

Outside, the back deck has just been stained and a large paver stone patio was added in the backyard, giving the lot a second place to gather beyond the porch.

Outside

Back deck and patio

The back deck, now freshly stained, steps down to a level lawn and the new paver stone patio. A long gravel drive gives plenty of parking.

The land

A third of an acre, set well back from the street.

The house sits on a long, narrow parcel with the cottage up front and an unusually deep backyard behind it. Roughly 180 feet of fencing runs along the property.

Room to garden, add a shed or studio (subject to City of Asheville zoning), or simply enjoy the space, all inside city limits.
