Stone house, level land, four minutes to town. This 1936 Kenilworth classic sits on 0.70 acres—large for the neighborhood—with a detached two-car garage, a barn, two separate fenced yards for pets, RV parking, a hot tub, and Mountain views from the front porch. 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.

Space, privacy, and park-side living in the heart of Kenilworth. Located just minutes from downtown Asheville, Biltmore Village, and nearby breweries, this spacious home offers a rare combination of neighborhood energy and breathing room in one of Asheville’s most beloved areas. With over 3,100 sq ft, the layout supports the way many people want to live now: together, but with room to spread out. Whether you are envisioning multigenerational living, co-living, long-term guests, work-from-home space, creative pursuits, or income-producing potential, the home offers a level of versatility that is increasingly difficult to find in Asheville. Large windows fill the home with natural light, while solid wood floors, open gathering spaces, and multiple living areas create a feeling that is both grounded and welcoming. Freshly painted decks and an oversized front porch offer an easy daily reset, a quiet place for coffee, conversation, or a slow evening after a full day. Kenilworth Park sits just a few steps away, offering pickleball, tennis, basketball, soccer fields, volleyball, playgrounds, and green space that naturally become part of daily life. Step out for a walk, let the kids play, meet a neighbor, or simply enjoy having open space so close to home. The finished and conditioned basement adds over 1,000 additional square feet of highly usable flex space, along with a 2-car garage. While not counted in the heated square footage due to access from an unfinished stairwell, it creates opportunities for guests, hobbies, workspace, recreation, storage, or expanded living arrangements. Despite its central location, the home also offers something genuinely uncommon in Kenilworth: privacy. Neighboring homes do not look directly into the main living spaces, creating a quieter and more tucked-away feel than many buyers expect this close to downtown Asheville. For buyers seeking more than just square footage, this is a home designed for real life, with warmth, flexibility, and room to grow into.
