Rare find! A meticulously maintained and tastefully updated modern cottage design in a sweet West-West Asheville neighborhood just 5 minutes from Haywood Road shops, pubs & eatteries and 10 minutes to the heart of downtown Ashevile. This place enjoys a commanding position, perched high above the road on nearly half an acre with great lawn spaces and beautiful mature trees. A carport greets you upon arrival and compliments the modern aesthetic. Inside offers all-the-updates: new windows throughout, hardwood floors, custom-built cabinetry, and two mini-split HVAC systems with die-hard oil finance backup for the coldest winter nights. The kitchen layout is hyper-functional and has a glass storm door that offers loads of additional daylight. The open living, dining and kitchen boasts recessed lighting, yet abundant natural light streaming in through a massive picture window with a perfect view of the Biltmore Estate in the distance. Just off of the living area, the second bedroom has doubled well as a nursery and home office with great built-ins (note window doesn't meet egress requirements). The primary bedroom is large and connects to a great storage room and handy workshop space. Outside offers loads of lawn for play, abundant gardening potential and nice patio spaces to lounge both out front or out back. The back yard is terraced and the upper level feels like a completely separate lot that is ready for a guest house/accessory dwelling unit. An unopened city alley could provide access, though currently blocked by a neighbor's shed. There is potential for subdividing to create a flag lot, though the carport likely affects the set back needed for the "flagpole." Buyer to confirm all details for any building and/or subdivision potential. Meanwhile, there is A LOT to enjoy here, inside and out.
