40 Hyannis Drive, Unit 203Asheville, NC 28804Price: $485,000

Some homes make life feel just a little easier and this beautifully maintained North Asheville condo does exactly that. Tucked into a private corner of The Tremont, an intimate 14-unit community at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this spacious 2BR/2BA residence offers over 1,300 square feet of easy, one-level living in a setting that feels wonderfully removed from the city. An elevator makes the second-floor location effortlessly accessible (stairs entirely optional), while abundant windows, engineered hardwood floors and generous living and dining spaces create a bright, comfortable interior. The kitchen features granite countertops with bar seating and plentiful cabinetry, while the oversized primary suite offers a walk-in closet, ensuite bath with soaking tub and a separate shower, and even has direct access outdoors. And that's where this condo really sets itself apart. French doors open to a covered patio enveloped by mature landscaping, creating a remarkably private, garden-like retreat for coffee in the morning, cocktails in the evening or dinner outdoors. Rather than overlooking pavement and parked cars, your view is green, quiet and beautifully tucked away. Adjacent to the UNCA campus and convenient to Beaver Lake, Merrimon Avenue and downtown Asheville, this is low-maintenance living without giving up the space, privacy or outdoor connection that makes a place feel like home.
