Lovingly cared for 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home just 15 minutes to downtown Asheville, on nearly 1 acre. The main living spaces are upstairs with an open-concept layout, creating a warm atmosphere perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings. The split bedroom plan offers a primary bedroom haven with a generous bathroom and an oversized soaking tub, while two additional bedrooms, a guest bath, and a bright sunroom with backyard access complete this level. The versatile lower level features a second kitchen, full bath, abundant living space, and a huge closet. It is ideal for various purposes like an in-law suite with no steps, a home business, a teen hangout, or even a hobby room! Enjoy added privacy with recent upgrades, including a new eight-foot wood fence, mesh fence screening, and some arborvitae evergreens. The expansive fenced yard with views of the neighboring equestrian riding stable provides a serene backdrop—less than 3 miles from essential amenities.

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.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Gas station
General retail
