About This Property

Fully RenovatedFenced YardMountain Views

Originally built in 1949, this thoughtfully reimagined East Asheville cottage blends timeless mountain character with elevated modern living. Fully renovated, offering a rare turnkey retreat just minutes from downtown Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Asheville's beloved restaurants, coffee shops, and local favorites. Set on an unusually spacious lot, the property feels private, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature.

|

The fully fenced yard creates a true extension of the home -- ideal for entertaining, gardening, pets, or quiet evenings around the fire pit beneath the trees. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings and smooth plaster finishes create a sense of warmth and volume rarely found at this scale, while thoughtfully curated updates preserve the home's original charm and soul. Light-filled living spaces, refinished hardwood floors, and refined modern touches come together to create a home that feels deeply inviting.

The renovated kitchen and upstairs bathroom blend modern functionality with boutique charm. Featuring heated floors, these spaces offer an elevated, cozy experience. Whether used as a full-time residence, stylish mountain getaway, or flexible retreat close to the city, this home captures the atmosphere buyers move to Asheville searching for: peaceful, design-forward, authentic, and effortlessly livable.
