Lovingly restored cottage in East Asheville. A country setting, yet only 5 miles to downtown. Walk to hiking on Blue Ridge Parkway. Would make a great Air B and B rental! Energy efficiency upgrades include replacement windows, programmable thermostat and air sealing. Remodeled kitchen and pantry, refinished deck and refurbished heart pine floors. Huge wrap-around deck, organic garden and mature landscaping. Detached garage/workshop/studio with electric and insulation. See brochure for details.
