Tucked away in Malvern Hills and walking distance to two peaceful greenways with creeks, this adorable West Asheville property is a peaceful oasis. With easy access to I-40 and I-240, the warm & welcoming "Atomic Ranch" style mid-century modern cottage features a stylish metal roof and year round mountain views from the bedroom and living room. The corner lot receives ample natural light which sets off hardwood floors and original wood cabinetry. The kitchen and bathroom were tastefully updated (in 2023) with durable hickory and Italian stone tile, respectively, as well as with modern appliances, butcher block countertop, open shelving for a spacious feel and teak and marble bathroom vanity. This home consistently uses less energy than other energy efficient homes in the area, per utility reports. Energy efficient updates include a Mitsubishi mini-split for heating and cooling, new (2023) on-demand hot water heater (and exterior propane tank), new energy efficient washing machine and ventless dryer, and the crawl space has been encapsulated. Enjoy plants galore, including canna lilies that attract hummingbirds and a large butterfly bush for a colorful show in summer, as well as fruiting cherry, fig, blueberries and raspberries, and lots of herbs and flowers. Shed and teak outdoor storage box convey.
