This bungalow is scheduled for completion in March. Hurry and get this house while there is still time to pick out fixtures and colors for your new home in Arden. It is being build to meet Energy Star certification. The yard has beautiful rock walls and is full or mature flowers and shrubs and can be enjoyed while sitting on the front porch. Great location close to down town Asheville, schools, Biltmore, hiking and biking trails. The original garage and carport would make a great workshop.
