Remarks:
What if you could have the space you want, the updates already done, and still be just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville? Set on .71 acre with no HOA, this updated brick ranch offers nearly 1,900 square feet of comfortable main-level living, plus more than 1,500 square feet of unfinished basement space ready for storage, a workshop, gym, recreation space or future plans. More than $90,000 has been invested during the sellers' ownership, including a new roof, new gutters, extensive interior and exterior painting, new engineered flooring and a beautifully remodeled hall bath taken down to the studs. Hardwood floors extend through the main living areas, bedrooms and hallway, while granite countertops and stainless steel appliances complement the kitchen. Designed for easier everyday living, the home features a dedicated main-level laundry and an extended walk-in pantry, while the original basement laundry hookups remain in place for added flexibility. A tankless water heater, serviced HVAC, additional electrical improvements and thoughtful updates throughout mean much of the work has already been done. Outside, the .71-acre property offers something increasingly difficult to find this close to Asheville: a fully fenced backyard with three gates, mature surroundings, room to garden, play or entertain, and dedicated RV or camper parking with a power pole and separate access. A two-car garage provides additional parking and storage. The basement adds another dimension to the property, with more than 1,500 square feet of unfinished space offering exceptional storage and flexibility for hobbies, a home gym, workshop, recreation area or future expansion. With no HOA, city water, a generous lot, main-level living, a huge basement, RV parking and substantial improvements already completed, 581 Old Leicester Highway delivers a rare combination of space, flexibility and convenience just minutes from downtown Asheville.
