A welcoming covered front porch opens into a thoughtfully designed interior where timeless craftsmanship blends seamlessly with modern comfort. The spacious great room features soaring ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and custom Amish-built cabinetry, creating a warm and inviting centerpiece for daily living and entertaining alike. The open-concept layout flows naturally into a bright kitchen appointed with granite countertops, marble backsplash, and a generous walk-in pantry • Highlights include a main-level primary suite overlooking the natural beauty of Scott’s Mountain and Bill Moore Creek, featuring double vanities, a walk-in shower with sky-view window, and a spacious walk-in closet. The fully finished lower level offers exceptional flexibility with a secondary living area, guest bedroom, full bath, and dedicated storage space • Outdoor living is equally inviting, with professionally landscaped and irrigated grounds along with dual-level decking overlooking the private backyard setting. One of the unique advantages of this location is its immediate proximity to Biltmore Lake’s extensive trail system, with trail access located just a short distance down the street providing convenient pedestrian access to the lake, clubhouse, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and other community amenities without the need to drive • Residents of Biltmore Lake enjoy a lifestyle centered around a 62-acre lake with private beach access, miles of hiking and biking trails, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, and a vibrant clubhouse and bandstand hosting seasonal events and concerts. For added peace of mind, the seller has commissioned a comprehensive pre-listing inspection available for review by qualified buyers, and a Home Warranty is included. Home is vacant, easy to show, and ready for immediate enjoyment. • This property is not located in a FEMA-designated flood zone and flood insurance is not required. Certain third-party websites may display inaccurate flood zone information, so buyers are encouraged to verify independently if desired.

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.
