Rarely does a one-level home offer this extraordinary combination of mountain and water views, privacy, and convenience. Set on 1.34 beautifully landscaped acres in East Asheville, this meticulously cared-for home captures sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the tranquil waters of Jewell Acres Pond from nearly every room. Designed for effortless, age-in-place living, the light-filled interior flows easily from one inviting space to the next. A beautiful kitchen anchors the home, while walls of windows bring the surrounding landscape indoors. The sunroom may quickly become a favorite retreat-an inspiring office, exercise space, or peaceful place to relax while overlooking the pond and mountains. An enclosed porch off the living room offers yet another space to enjoy the setting throughout the seasons. Outside, the property feels like a private garden sanctuary, with exceptional landscaping, extensive hardscaping, and multiple spaces created for outdoor living. Gather around the fire pit on the front stone patio as the mountains provide the backdrop, or retreat to the private rear stone patio with its outdoor fireplace for intimate evenings surrounded by nature. Thoughtfully maintained and improved, the home features an updated well, new water filtration and alarm systems, an updated electrical panel, new attic insulation, and extensive garden drainage, hardscaping, and landscaping improvements. Private yet remarkably convenient, this special East Asheville retreat is just minutes from downtown Asheville and Black Mountain, with easy access to Warren Wilson trails and the Blue Ridge Parkway. A rare opportunity to enjoy one-level living, breathtaking scenery, and the natural beauty of Western North Carolina-every single day.
