About this home

Enjoy country living only 20 minutes to downtown Asheville. This charming site built arts and crafts home offers quality and privacy on a large .68 acre lot with views of the gentle rolling hills that give Leicester its pastoral beauty. Open floor plan with hardwoods in the main living area features a large kitchen that opens onto the back porch, with a window over the sink to enjoy views of the garden and perhaps a chicken or two. Covered porches on the front and back allow for relaxing while listening to a summer rain shower or breathing in the gentle breezes that are the reason they call it "cool, green Asheville." The back porch is plumbed for gas hookup to the grill so you'll never have to run to the store at the last minute to fill the propane tank. Garage door enters into laundry/mud room for convenience on those days you feel like digging in the dirt.

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.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Gas station
General retail
Restaurant
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Manufacturing
