Tucked away at the end of Haw Creek Valley, 21 Mann Road offers a rare blend of peace, comfort, and connection to nature. Surrounded by mature trees and accompanied by the gentle sound of the creek, this single-level East Asheville home is a serene retreat just minutes from downtown. Designed for easy living, its open floor plan flows naturally between spaces, with a generous living area anchored by a cozy gas-log fireplace, a dining nook filled with natural light, and a functional kitchen complete with center island, pantry, and modern appliances. The split-bedroom layout provides privacy for the primary suite, while the additional two bedrooms and a versatile bonus room offer options for family, guests, or a dedicated office or studio. Recent updates—including a new roof, dual-fuel HVAC system, and an encapsulated crawlspace—provide comfort and confidence for years to come. Outdoor living is just as inviting as the interior. A covered front porch overlooks the creek, the expansive rear deck opens to leafy views, and a covered back porch creates yet another space to relax or entertain. The home sits on over half an acre of wooded, gently sloping land, offering a natural buffer of privacy while still maintaining accessibility with an attached two-car garage and ample driveway parking. The setting captures the best of both worlds—nestled in a quiet pocket of East Asheville yet only minutes from downtown’s vibrant arts, dining, and cultural scene. Nearby schools, parks, and trails add to the appeal, making the property a versatile choice whether you’re downsizing, stepping into your first home, or searching for a turnkey mountain retreat. 21 Mann Road is more than just a house—it is a sanctuary of ease and possibility, a place where thoughtful updates, adaptable spaces, and natural beauty come together to create a home that feels both grounded and inspiring.
