Nestled in a beautiful hardwood forest with spectacular million-dollar views, this inviting home lives larger than its footprint, and its price. The spacious rocking porch complete with swing is ideal for bird watching, star gazing, or a peaceful cup of coffee. Inside, you are greeted by a sun-drenched living room with cathedral ceilings, impressive rock fireplace and a wall of windows to enjoy the long-range views. Just beyond, the kitchen with granite and stainless-steel refrigerator opens to a dining area with bay window. The master bedroom with two closets and newly remodeled bathroom offer privacy and comfort. In the basement, a rec room with wet bar and bath (plumbed for shower) could easily be finished. New HVAC in 2017 and roof in 2014. This cozy, low-maintenance treasure would make a perfect retreat or second home. Less than 20 minutes to downtown Asheville!

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.
