Own a piece of history in the mountain community off Riceville, just 7 miles northeast of downtown Asheville. The beautiful rural setting combines the perfect balance of prime proximity to amenities with privacy. This original farmhouse is a sacred place, and you can feel it. Bursting with character this home features hardy and mature crepe myrtles and 100-year-old tulip trees, a covered rocking chair front porch, and a fenced-in yard with mountain views. Heated sunroom addition, beautiful light fixtures, a full pantry, pine flooring, and built-in cabinets in the large bathroom are just some of the charming features you will fall in love with. You are minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and excellent restaurants and shopping. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Warren Wilson Trails, Shope Creek Trailhead, and nearby creeks and waterfalls offer the full range of activities. Home inspection available upon request. Bonus room upstairs includes additional SF not heated.
