About this home

This cozy duplex is ideal for someone looking to live in one unit and rent the other. The upper unit is a fully furnished studio that has been a successful short term rental for years. The lower unit has a full kitchen, updated bathroom and a large flex space that could be arranged as a bedroom and living area. The large level yard has three storage buildings, a fireplace, and a view of the mountains. The shared laundry is access from outside, but a door could be added to the lower level for interior access. The three outbuildings include a workshop with shelving, two levels, and electric, the second is being used to store fire wood, and the third is waiting for your chickens. Close to both Black Mountain and Asheville, this slightly off the beaten path location is also minutes from local favorite hiking trails like those on Warren Wilson College, Owen Park and the soon to open Swannanoa Pump Track. Come buy yourself a piece of land in Swannanoa, a vibrant community bouncing back in style! Check out all the new businesses in Beacon Village while you're in town!
