About This Home

Ten minutes from Downtown Asheville and five minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this highly accessible, farm-style cottage offers a 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. The back yard offers rich soil and ample sunlight for terraced gardening, and a large area already prepared for the addition of a carport, workshop, or lanai.

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 includes a new mid-century modern furniture package, complimented by many smart- storage solutions. $3500 seller concession is currently available for buyer with offer of asking price.

The Gem of Avondale is ready!
