Charming and updated 1930’s cottage in the heart of Asheville’s beloved Kenilworth neighborhood. The quaint brick exterior and expansive fenced lawn create a storybook enchantment for little ones or furry friends. The main level living room, kitchen, dining and bedroom are full of natural light and ornate period specific detailing (glass door knobs, archways, built-ins, etc) while modern touches make life easy and breezy (gas fireplace, electrical updates, gas range, garage doors, etc). Entertaining is made simple and convenient with the tiered outdoor patio with established tree canopy and twinkling lights. Guests can stay in the lower level when visiting and utilize the additional living space/ office space/ studio space - which is not included in the heated square footage calculation. Convenient to Mission hospital, downtown, restaurants, shopping & more.
