A Little Seclusion, A Lot of Space, and Everything Asheville Has to Offer Just Minutes Away!

Welcome to 655 School Road, where the best of both worlds comes together on an impressive 2.38 acres in the heart of South Asheville! In an area where finding a little extra breathing room is becoming increasingly rare, this property offers something truly special. Tucked away from the everyday hustle and bustle, you'll discover a peaceful setting that feels removed from it all, yet shopping, dining, entertainment, and Asheville's most loved destinations are just a short drive away. And the space doesn't stop at the property lines! Inside, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers more than 2,000 square feet of living space, with generously sized rooms designed for comfortable everyday living. The spacious living room provides plenty of room to gather, entertain, or simply stretch out and relax, while the large kitchen offers the kind of space that makes cooking, hosting, and everyday life feel a little easier. A cozy sunroom adds another inviting spot to slow down, enjoy your morning coffee, or take in the peaceful surroundings. Step outside, and the possibilities continue. The fenced backyard provides a wonderful space for pets, outdoor activities, or simply enjoying time in your own backyard retreat. A detached garage and additional carport offer valuable flexibility for parking, storage, hobbies, or keeping your outdoor essentials tucked away. And with 2.38 acres surrounding you, there's a sense of openness and freedom that's hard to duplicate in such a convenient location. Perhaps what's most appealing about 655 School Road is how effortlessly it balances two lifestyles. Spend your day enjoying the restaurants and shops of South Asheville, exploring nearby Biltmore Village, or heading into downtown Asheville, then return home to the quiet comfort of your own spacious retreat. Because finding a home with room to live is wonderful. Finding one with room to breathe, over two acres of land, and the convenience of Asheville at your fingertips? That's something truly special. At 655 School Road, you aren't just finding a place to call home. You're discovering a little more space, a little more peace, and a whole lot of possibility.
