Set in the desirable Haw Creek neighborhood, this fully reimagined residence offers a rare combination of thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship throughout. The main level has been reconfigured to create a true primary suite you won't want to leave, complete with a walk-in closet, a spa-inspired bath with double vanity, a custom tile shower with gold rain-head fixtures and glass enclosure, and a private in-suite laundry option. The living and dining areas open gracefully into an entirely new kitchen, where oak cabinetry pairs with Calacatta quartz slab countertops that extend seamlessly up the backsplash. The kitchen is outfitted with extra cabinetry, including a pantry cabinet and coffee bar area, along with a full suite of GE Café appliances, including a five-burner range, double-drawer dishwasher, French-door smart refrigerator with hot and cold water dispensing, and a microwave with air fryer function. Beyond its aesthetic transformation, the home has been substantially upgraded at a systems level: a new electric heat pump with triple-zone climate control, upgraded electrical service, nearly all-new plumbing and fixtures, new lighting, and preserved and freshly refinished original hardwood floors. A newly built deck extends the living space outdoors, complemented by a flat, usable front yard. Below, a newly finished lower level offers dedicated entertainment space, including a projector connection suited for movie nights. Additional features include a one-car garage with a new door and a second laundry area. Centrally located and thoughtfully appointed with a nod to its historic character, this Haw Creek residence offers a rare blend of timeless charm and modern refinement just moments from a vibrant mix of neighborhood coffee shops and acclaimed local restaurants. Broker is an owner.
Haw Creek, located between Downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway, is a residential and outdoorsy Asheville neighborhood with a creekside valley and wooded ridgelines. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Haw Creek Road corridor near the Haw Creek Overlook, where a steady stream of cyclists and dog-walkers meets a low-key, local rhythm. Mid-century ranches and classic brick homes sit along curving streets, with pockets of newer builds tucked into the hills. Haw Creek Park and the John B. Lewis Soccer Complex set the tone for afternoons outdoors and weekend games. Highland Brewing Company and the Folk Art Center add two distinctly Asheville anchors—one for pints and patios, one for craft and culture. The landscape shifts quickly from neighborhood blocks to trailheads and scenic pull-offs.
