Description

Tucked on a private-feeling corner lot in East Ridge, this well-cared-for home offers an easy, light-filled layout just minutes from Riceville Road, the VA Hospital, and the best of East Asheville. Vaulted ceilings create an open, airy feel in the main living space, while the main-level primary suite provides everyday comfort and convenience. Upstairs, a bright loft offers flexible space for a home office or reading retreat, complemented by generously sized guest bedrooms ideal for visitors. Key systems have already been addressed, including a roof (2021), HVAC (2019), and gas water heater (2015), making this a strong low-maintenance option whether full-time or lock-and-go living. The HOA includes yard maintenance, allowing more time to enjoy the surrounding area. Located less than a mile from grocery shopping and just moments from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this home also offers quick access to East Asheville favorites like Copper Crown, RendezVous, Dobra Tea, Dynamite Coffee, and PennyCup. Comfortable, convenient, and easy to live in—this is East Asheville at its best.
