Tucked into the heart of Asheville's beloved Oakley neighborhood, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick cottage offers 1,443 square feet of comfortable living with an unbeatable combination of character, updates, and outdoor space. 2018 renovations include a new roof, HVAC, and water heater — giving buyers confidence in the major systems from day one. Inside, the warm brick exterior carries through to an inviting interior full of cottage charm. The primary suite offers a large walk-in closet and private bath with double sink and walk-in shower. The kitchen features all new appliances and opens to a side porch that flows directly into the fenced backyard — a seamless indoor-outdoor connection perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The outdoor spaces are a true highlight. A large, covered front porch welcomes you home, while the side porch and cement walkway connect the home to a spacious, flat, fully fenced backyard — a rare find in this part of Asheville. New fence in 2018, and cement back patio installed in 2025. The full basement with two separate entrances adds exceptional storage and workshop potential, with multiple rooms ready to be put to use. Situated directly across from Oakley Elementary and conveniently located just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and breweries of South and East Asheville, with easy access to downtown Asheville and I-240.

Oakley, located between Biltmore Village and East Asheville, is a residential and commercial Asheville neighborhood with a walkable main drag and a low-key, lived-in feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Fairview Road near the Oakley Library, where corner markets, casual eateries, and everyday errands cluster in a compact strip. Local pillars include Highland Brewing Company’s meadow-side taproom, the Copper Crown, and the Blue Ridge Biscuit Company. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and older cottages, with pockets of newer infill. Side streets roll gently toward the Swannanoa River corridor, adding a green edge to the grid. Daily life centers on patios, takeout counters, and short drives to trailheads and river parks.
