Have you seen one of the largest Japanese maples in Buncombe County? The house behind it is absolutely amazing too. Picture pulling into the driveway, the magnificent maple stands watch over a beautifully reimagined 1949 home with a flat, usable .29-acre lot. 5 minutes from downtown Asheville, you'll have the city's celebrated restaurants, breweries, galleries, and live music scene practically at your doorstep, all without giving up the quiet, tree-lined streets and tight-knit charm that make Kenilworth one of the most beloved neighborhoods in town.
Step inside and you'll feel it immediately: this is a home that has been loved. The kitchen alone will stop you in your tracks, the kind of space that entertains, with an oversized gas cooktop and oven, farmhouse sink, and plenty of cabinet space. Original hardwoods refinished to a rich glow, gas fireplace, and a primary suite remodeled into a true retreat carry that same care through the rest of the home. Four bedrooms and three and a half baths give you room to grow, to gather, to make this house yours. The big stuff is already done, too. Updated furnace, water heater, roof, and new sewer line, so all that's left for you is to move in and start making memories.
Evenings will find you on the deck, coffee or wine in hand, enjoying your private backyard and flagstone fire pit. It's the rare setup that lets you have both: a peaceful retreat to come home to and a vibrant city to explore whenever the mood strikes. This isn't just a house. It's the home you've been waiting for.
