No HOA. Inside, 1,996 square feet of one-level living with a split-bedroom plan, wood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and a primary suite addition finished in local woods with a built-in walk-in closet and stone-accented shower, and heated floor in the bathroom. A big walk-up attic adds bonus space the tape measure didn't count. The owners did the work buyers hope to find already done: new roof, fresh exterior paint, new gutters with guards, chimney repair with custom chimney cap, new mini-split, new water heater, water filtration system, natural gas installed in the fireplace for easy lighting, EV/hot tub hookup, and $10,000 of tree work. And the lot leaves one more card on the table: RM6 zoning may allow a future flag-lot subdivision—buyer to verify with the City of Asheville.
