An expansive, level lawn stretches toward the river, framed by mature trees and providing a sense of openness increasingly difficult to find in South Asheville. Multiple outdoor living areas invite gatherings throughout the seasons, while the detached garage provides valuable additional parking, workshop or storage space. A Generac generator and whole-home dehumidifier add another layer of comfort and preparedness. Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains remarkably connected to the best of the area.

This quiet, private setting is full of surprises. Sold with a second, separate lot, the property is officially listed with two bedrooms due to septic permitting. The home, however, offers multiple flexible bonus rooms. The wide-open plan on the main level is centered on floor-to-ceiling windows that soak in dappled light pouring through the wooded back yard. The recently updated kitchen flows seamlessly into living and dining spaces and provides immediate access to a spacious deck perfect for outdoor dining. Upstairs, a loft with its own deck makes a perfect office, music room, theater or all three. The lower level adds two bonus rooms, a second full bathroom, storage, a laundry room with utility space, and efficient heating and cooling via radiant heat floors and mini-split units. Much of the expensive maintenance has been done already — the HVAC units and water heater are all less than 5 years old, and the driveway was newly repaved. Established perennial landscaping, a fire pit patio, and additional decking on the lower level make outdoor living easy and inviting. Rest easy knowing the property did not suffer damage or water intrusion from Helene. Sitting squarely in the Glen Arden and Roberson school districts and only minutes from the heart of South Asheville, the property offers convenience without sacrificing privacy and the second lot secures that seclusion for the long term.

Bright, spacious, and immaculately maintained, this South Asheville home offers a rare combination: room to spread out, and the flexibility to reconfigure that space as life changes. Updates throughout the home make it move-in ready, while the layout does something most five-bedroom homes can’t — it gives every generation its own space without anyone feeling on top of each other. The main floor holds the primary suite, kitchen, formal dining, and living space for gathering - filled with natural light from oversized windows that frame the private, wooded 1.07-acre lot. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a bonus room/office round out the sleeping quarters. Downstairs is where this home sets itself apart: a fully independent lower level with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, bonus space, and separate interior and exterior access — ideal for multigenerational living, guests, a home office, or whatever comes next. Each of the three floors is independently zoned for heating and cooling. Outside, mature landscaping, a level fenced yard, and private creek access extend the living space well beyond the walls. At roughly 4,122 square feet, the home strikes the balance buyers are increasingly hard-pressed to find: substantial without feeling cavernous, private without feeling remote. The location backs that up. The North Carolina Arboretum, French Broad River access, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail are all about two miles away, with Bent Creek and Biltmore Park just minutes further — and easy I-26 access puts the rest of Asheville within reach. Ashley Woods Neighborhood rounds it out with the feel of an established South Asheville-adjacent community: generous wooded lots, a neighborhood park, playground, pavilion with fire pit, and a large level field — all without the HOA fees that usually come with it. Simply put, this home checks every box.
