Lots of potential for this cute 2 bed/1 bath bungalow in Candler. Tucked away on a private wooded lot at the end of the street, yet incredibly convenient to 19/23 and all Asheville has to offer. Traditional floorplan with covered front porch and rear deck. Please review attached offer instructions.

Residential Multi-Family Low Density District
It is the intent of the RM-6 Residential Multi-Family Low Density District to permit a limited range of low density multi-family housing types along with single-family detached and attached dwellings. This district is intended to provide a transitional area between single lower- and multi-family higher-density areas, and to provide a compatible mixture of these various housing types. Non-residential development normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area is also permitted.
