Property Description

Set in the heart of highly sought-after Beaverdam Valley, this four-bedroom, two-bath home comes with nearly four acres of woods, running streams, and close-range mountain views, all just minutes from downtown Asheville. Built in the 1940s and lovingly tended by the same family for decades, this single-level home is move-in ready, with custom woodwork throughout, abundant charm, and room to make the land your own. Inside, the spacious living room has a stone gas fireplace, generous windows to let the light in, black walnut floors, and a pair of antique doors repurposed as barn doors, complete with hand-carved detail and original hardware. The updated kitchen features expansive granite countertops, custom white oak and pecan cabinetry, black walnut trim, and a window over the sink. It opens to a dining area with built-in cabinets, room to seat a crowd, and a window looking out into the backyard. The mudroom off the kitchen is perfectly located by the back door and carport, and includes the laundry area plus ample storage. White oak and chestnut run through the hallway leading to the bedrooms, and two custom-built sliding barn doors serve the bathrooms. All four bedrooms have views of the yard and streams. The garage/outbuilding is currently set up as a workshop, with a second smaller building for outdoor storage. Step outside and the property opens up to a broad, level front yard, framed by lovely mature landscaping and rock outcroppings, with room for a garden, a fire pit, a gazebo, or a long table set for friends on a summer evening. From there, two trails wind back through the woods to the rear acreage, where a clearing surrounded by tall trees is ready for your vision: an outdoor entertaining space, an additional hobby or workshop structure, a peaceful retreat. Two streams run through the property, and the sound of moving water adds to the quiet of this special place. This is a home with real warmth, in a relaxing natural setting, yet you're still a short drive from the vibrant energy of Asheville's restaurants and shops downtown. Enjoy chasing sunsets with a view? Pack a picnic! You're only 10 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway with its stunning overlooks and Craven Gap Trail. Potential development opportunity: RS-4 zoning permits up to six units within the city, and multiple building sites may offer flexibility for expansion, guest homes, or investment. Buyer to verify feasibility and the possibility of subdividing with the City of Asheville.
