Discover the perfect blend of modern comfort and peaceful country living. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood on a beautiful parcel of unrestricted land, this home has been completely transformed from top to bottom with an incredible attention to detail and quality. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is undeniable. The home boasts a new roof with architectural shingles, durable LP Smart Siding, new windows, doors, gutters with gutter guards, and stylish exterior lighting. Step out onto the expansive outdoor living spaces, including a 14’x7’ covered deck for relaxing in the shade and an oversized 16’x12’ deck perfect for entertaining. The thoughtfully landscaped grounds feature a fire pit, five mature blueberry bushes, and a gardener’s dream setup: six raised composite wood garden beds and an 8’x12’ greenhouse with thermostatically controlled exhaust fans. Inside, you are greeted by gleaming ¾” solid hickory hardwood flooring that flows through the living room, dining area, and third bedroom. The living room is anchored by a cozy and efficient Morso pedestal wood-burning stove from Denmark, set upon a tempered glass hearth. The heart of the home is the stunningly remodeled kitchen. It features custom soft-close cabinets with elegant glass fronts and LED lighting in the uppers, pristine granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and a durable tile floor. The GE Profile kitchen package includes an energy-efficient range, dishwasher, and side-by-side refrigerator. Both full bathrooms have been exquisitely updated with soft-close vanities, high-end quartzite and quartz countertops, new fixtures, and beautiful tile work. All bedrooms offer the convenience of spacious walk-in closets. The full, unfinished walkout basement is a blank canvas brimming with potential. With four garden-level windows providing abundant natural light and its own covered entry, it’s ready to be transformed into a workshop, studio, in-law suite, or additional living space. This home isn’t just beautiful; it offers complete peace of mind with a new energy-efficient heat pump (June 2024), a new water heater, a transferable termite contract, and a transferable house wash warranty valid until 2030. The property survey has been recorded with Buncombe County.

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.
