153 Israel Rd, Leicester, NC 28748

Built in 2021, this move-in-ready Arts and Crafts-style home with main-level living sits on a private .72-acre lot with mountain views in The Ridge, a gated community in Leicester, NC, convenient to Asheville. This 1.5-story, 3-bedroom, 3-bath home keeps the primary suite, a guest bedroom, and a flex room that works well as a home office all on the main floor, with a third bedroom and full ensuite bath upstairs. Vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows fill the great room with natural light around a gas fireplace, opening to a well-equipped kitchen with a large island, stainless appliances, and a dining area that leads to the covered porch. The primary suite offers a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and dual vanities. Outside, the covered porch and generous lot are made for relaxing and entertaining. The Ridge offers a clubhouse, outdoor pool, picnic area, playground, and basketball court within a gated, privately maintained community. A two-car garage with an EV charger and quality site-built construction round out this Buncombe County home, about 10-12 miles from downtown Asheville and roughly 15 miles from Weaverville.
