Nestled in a rarely available Arden neighborhood, this beautifully updated home offers the ease of single-level living with a smart split-bedroom layout. Recent updates abound, such as the kitchen which includes granite countertops with a 30-year seal, sink with garbage disposal, and removal of a half wall for better flow. The HVAC and water heater were replaced by the current owners as well. Step out onto the sun-drenched back deck and take advantage of a generous yard that’s perfect for hosting gatherings or outdoor fun. Additional living space awaits in the partially finished basement, which offers both interior and exterior access, along with a large, practical workshop/storage area. The connected garage features a new mini split, making it a comfortable space year-round and perfect for its current use as a home gym or future plans from new owners. This home’s prime location puts you just minutes away from local favorites like the Blue Ridge Parkway, Bent Creek, and Biltmore Park.
