Historic, beautifully-renovated farmhouse on large East Asheville site. Peacefully set within a mix of lawn and mature hardwoods. Open floor plan; abundant windows introduce views and natural light to the timeless interiors. Master on main with luxurious bath. Kitchen overlooks vast yard and garden. Many updates such as newer metal roof, heat pump, and new storage/workshop. Beautiful lines--feels like an Architectural Digest feature home inside and out, yet is warm and welcoming throughout.
