Some houses announce themselves. This one unfolds, like a good book on a Sunday afternoon. Drift gently down a meadow lined path to nearly six easy acres, where the home beckons, painted a cheerful blue with a sunshine colored front door that confirms it: this house has personality, and a charming tale to tell. Inside, original hardwoods run through rooms lit on every side with natural light. The expansive living room, painted the color of sky, opens to a cozy den centered around a white brick fireplace where the wood stove has taken the chill off a good many mountain mornings. The screened porch beyond is laid in brick and holds the afternoon light. The kitchen opens to the dining room with a bar for the ones who wander in early and stay to talk. Four bedrooms rest together on one easy level, and a mudroom laundry stands ready for boots and garden baskets. The primary bedroom is en suite, with a sizeable bath and renovated walk in closet, such a rarity for a midcentury cottage of this vintage. A walk-out basement below holds the jars, the tools and everything else a working household collect. Out back, a detached garage offers additional options for storage, workshops and more. Then there is the land, which was always the canvas. Nearly six acres where cleared meadow rolls out to old shade trees and flower beds, a kitchen garden already laid in tidy rows, and a ridgeline view that goes gold at the end of the day. Evenings linger on the deck under the stars and whispers are shared on the path through the bamboo forest. There is room for chickens, bees, a barn or nothing at all. A homesteader's paradise, or simply space to dream. The updates are many, and every one of them honors the charm the house already held, such as new roof, one gig fiber internet, updated HVAC, radon mitigation, fresh paint inside and out, deck extension, landscaping and more! It rests on a private road with few neighbors and easy access to South Asheville amenities, though the quiet is the real amenity. Every good book deserves a next reader. This one has been waiting.
