Less than 10 minutes to shopping on Merrimon Avenue on level, paved roads. The owner has added some significant enhancements, including a magnificent boulder installation at the driveway entrance in 2023. A new membrane roof under a large, new composite deck with a cable rail system was added in 2025, along with a new architectural shingle roof and gutter system in 2024. The house has a fresh coat of paint on the exterior in 2025. In 2024, a new wood burning stove was added downstairs along with stainless steel chimney liners for both chimneys and a new concrete chimney cap as well. There is an outbuilding for lawn equipment storage or a studio. This 2/2 home is an ideal vacation home or rental just outside the Asheville City Limits. The south facing exposure of the property allows the paved driveway to clear itself quickly after winter weather and keeps the home bathed in natural sunlight year-round. This is a very rare opportunity to own entirely south-facing acreage with a view in the high-demand area of Beaverdam Valley.
