Life is great in the 828 - this cozy 3 bedroom, 1 bath cottage has been lovingly maintained since its 2018 renovation and is ready for your enjoyment! Relax on one of two covered porches or the open air deck and take in in the mountain views. Cozy up by the stone fireplace in the living room or enjoy a book in the primary bedroom reading nook. The nearly one acre property is fairly flat and would make a perfect garden spot or play space. The house features all hardwood floors, historical charm and character, and updated utilities such as a new hot water heater (2022), newer roof, HVAC, windows, and updated septic (all in 2018). This little slice of mountain love is approx. 20 minutes to downtown Asheville (9 miles to WAVL) and would make a perfect home or vacation rental! The three bedrooms are light filled and the basement offers plenty of storage space (and W/D hookup!). The kitchen is outfitted with SS appliances and a W/D combo that conveys!

CS
Commercial Service District
The CS Commercial Service District is primarily intended to provide suitable locations for clustered commercial development to encourage the concentration of commercial activity in those specified areas with access to major traffic arteries, to discourage strip commercial development, and to allow for suitable noncommercial land uses. Such locations should currently have water and sewer services or be expected to have such services available in the future. This CS Commercial Service District may be applied to suitable areas adjacent to existing commercial concentration to allow for their expansion.
