For Sale $599,000
At the top of the hill, on the edge of the woods, you have discovered a rare opportunity in Swannanoa’s Bee Tree Forest community. On the market for the first time, 45 Sunset Drive is a modern mountain cottage that combines comfort, convenience, and privacy in a setting you will treasure. An inviting covered porch welcomes you, and overlooks a beautifully landscaped hillside of native plants. Inside, the home is centered around open living and dining spaces with a well-designed kitchen and a lovely three-season screened porch for taking in the leafy summer scene and autumn mountain vistas. French doors lead to a convenient home office at the front of the house. To one side, the main-level primary suite is perfectly scaled—comfortable, not cavernous—with views from the well-placed windows, a glass and tile shower, dual sinks, and a roomy walk-in closet. On the other side of the home, second and third bedrooms share a well-appointed full bathroom—a private sanctuary for guests or additional household members, or useful as a home studio and family room combination. Tucked above the garage, the bonus room is a cozy refuge with slanted ceilings and eastern views overlooking the cut-de-sac. Hardwood and tile floors, a main-level laundry room, and a spacious two-car garage complement the efficient layout. The fenced back yard, in a terraced design to prevent erosion, offers a sanctuary for gardening and relaxation while the adjoining mature woods enhance the privacy of the nearly half-acre lot. All these comforts are located in an appealing established neighborhood minutes from shopping, dining, services, and a variety of schools. Asheville and Black Mountain are nearly equidistant destinations, offering additional amenities within just a few miles, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is only 10 minutes away. This is the one! Come and see.
