Past the waterfall there sits an enchanting, private bungalow that awaits its next dwellers. Light abounds with large sliding glass doors, clerestory windows & skylights throughout. This light fills the main living area & highlights the home's dynamic high ceilings & angles. As you walk up the natural rock step to its wraparound porch, you can hear the creek as it flows over the rocks. There are multiple rock sitting areas on this land to enjoy the peace & tranquility of the wild rhododendron, hemlocks, mountain laurel & babbling creek. And yet, while you feel remote it's only 15 minutes to downtown Asheville. This home features underground utilities & Spectrum internet. Inside, the master bedroom has its own access to the boardwalk that leads to the creek. Also, it features two additional bedrooms; one is currently used as a TV room. Current owners use this home as a successful vacation rental during summer months & a place for serenity in the winter months.

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.
