Welcome to Thurlandia! 18 Thurland Avenue sits in one of Kenilworth's most neighborly pockets -- a niche so well-loved by its residents they've nicknamed it "Thurlandia." People here know each other by name, evening walks are a given, and the location is hard to beat: minutes from Mission Hospital, Biltmore Village, recently renovated HomeTrust baseball park, downtown Asheville, Kenilworth Park, and all the restaurants and shops you could ever want. On Saturdays, the Sunshine Sammies ice cream truck makes its rounds through the neighborhood, one of those small details that makes living here so sweet. Mature, professionally designed landscaping wraps the property in greenery and creates outdoor spaces that are enjoyable across every season. The front porch is a natural morning spot, shaded and surrounded by birdsong. The side screened porch is an extension of the living area and where you will want to spend most of your time this summer and fall. The back patio features a fire pit anchored by string lights with a wooded hillside as the backdrop. Stone hardscaping, native plantings and perennials popping up with every season give the garden year-round character. Inside, the same attention to detail continues with timeless craftsmanship and warm architectural touches. Built-in bench seating, window seats with storage cubbies, recessed display areas, and custom shelving give the rooms both function and personality. Natural light fills the living areas and is complemented by custom wood Bahama shutters, thoughtful window treatments, and well-chosen lighting. The kitchen features a redesigned pantry, an ergonomic laundry area, and a dedicated coffee station. The main level primary bedroom is quietly set with views over the back garden, outfitted with custom wood shutters, and includes a private ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet with customized built-ins, both accessed through pocket doors. Two spacious upper-level bedrooms are accented by generous closets and additional attic storage. One of these bedrooms is currently used as a bright and airy artist’s studio, where light pours in from the east, south, and west-facing windows. With year-round mountain views from here, creativity and inspiration are easy to come by. The versatile lower level provides additional flexibility to the already generous floor plan. Windows on both sides of the house flood this space with natural light. A comfortable family room or fourth bedroom, full bathroom, and generous closet storage. Fully permitted as an ADU with its own apartment number, exterior entry, and separate utilities, it's a strong setup for remote work, guests, or extended family. A kitchenette can be added to create fully separate living quarters with rental income potential. The extra-deep garage, with both interior and exterior access doors, features a walk-in mechanical room for maximum storage space. Throughout, the home has been meaningfully improved, with major investments including a high-efficiency Bosch HVAC system installed in 2025, fresh interior and exterior paint, and upgraded air purification and humidity systems, alongside continued enhancements to the landscaping. Indoor comfort, beautiful outdoor spaces, a cozy neighborhood, and Asheville's best amenities right down the road -- life at 18 Thurland Avenue is about as easy and comfortable as it gets. Everything has been taken care of in this peaceful, urban gem, all that's left is moving in and making it yours.

Walk to everything that makes Asheville iconic — then come home to a brand-new residence built to the highest standard. This rare Kenilworth new build places you steps from Mission Hospital, The Dripolator, Appalachian Vintner, Hi-Wire Brewing, Biltmore Village, and the energy of Asheville's celebrated South Slope. Few addresses in the city offer this kind of walkable access to healthcare, craft beer culture, local wine, and independent coffee — all without sacrificing the quiet, tree-lined character of one of Asheville's most beloved neighborhoods. Inside, the home is designed to match the lifestyle outside. Sunlit interiors open to a soaring vaulted great room anchored by a gas fireplace and grounded by rich oak hardwood floors. The chef's kitchen is built for people who actually cook — honed granite countertops, a 36" gas range, oversized island, and a walk-in pantry that keeps everything organized and out of sight. Morning coffee tastes better when you know The Dripolator is a short stroll away, but this kitchen will give you a reason to linger. The main-level primary suite is a genuine retreat: spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, walk-in tile shower, dual vanity, and an expansive closet that finally has room for everything. Multiple porches and a full-length lower deck extend the living space outdoors — ideal for Asheville's four-season climate, morning mist, and legendary fall color. The walk-out lower level functions as a home within a home. A family room with a wet bar, two private guest suites, a full bath, and a conditioned flex space ready for a home gym, art studio, or office round out a floor plan that adapts to how you actually live. Why this location wins: Kenilworth is one of Asheville's most walkable in-town neighborhoods, and this address sits at its best intersection — close enough to Biltmore Village's boutiques and galleries, the South Slope's nationally recognized craft brewery scene, and Mission Hospital for healthcare professionals seeking a true walk-to-work lifestyle. Asheville real estate rarely offers new construction at this quality in a neighborhood this connected. This is not a house that asks you to choose between a beautiful home and a vibrant life. At 110 Unadilla, you get both.
