Imagine waking each morning to the soft sound of a stream drifting past your backyard, sunlight pouring through cathedral windows, and long-range mountain views stretching beyond open skies. This warm and welcoming one-story traditional home offers the kind of setting that feels like a deep breath — peaceful, pastoral, and completely yours. With 1,722 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, three bedrooms, and two full baths all on one level, this home is perfectly suited for a growing young family or for those ready to embrace easy, graceful retirement living. The attached two-car garage, main-level laundry, and open layout make everyday life wonderfully simple. Inside, you’ll notice the upgrades that add both beauty and value — hand-scraped hickory hardwood floors, elegant porcelain tile, and quartz countertops that elevate the kitchen into a bright and welcoming gathering space. The cozy gas fireplace in the family room invites story time, holiday mornings, and relaxed evenings in. Just off the back, the sunroom is pure magic — a peaceful retreat overlooking the creek where you can watch the seasons change in quiet comfort. Outside, the level creekfront lot provides room to play, garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the fresh mountain air. With no HOA and no restrictions, there’s space for your RV, hobbies, and dreams. A spacious concrete driveway and open pad make it easy. The full-home propane generator offers peace of mind year-round, while the brand-new roof (July 2025) and new hot water tank (August 2025) mean big-ticket updates are already complete. Located in the desirable Candler area just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of convenience and countryside charm. City water, septic installed, paved road access — all the essentials are in place. For young families, this is a place where bikes can ride down the driveway, dogs can splash in the creek, and memories are made on the covered front porch. For retirees, it’s a home designed for comfort, simplicity, and serenity — where mornings begin with coffee in the sunroom and evenings end with mountain sunsets. And with eligibility for USDA financing (income limits apply), this dream may be more attainable than you think. This isn’t just one-floor living. It’s one beautiful chapter waiting to begin — with mountains in the distance and the gentle sound of water reminding you that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
