MODERN HOME WITH HISTORY
This beautifully updated 1890 farmhouse with mountain views and a stand- alone ADU features thoughtful updates coupled with vintage charm. An incredible investment opportunity, both the studio and house currently operate as short-term rentals. The furnishings, luxury spa hot tub and whole-house generator are included with an acceptable offer.
One of the original three buildings in the Riceville area, this farmhouse is fully renovated while maintaining much of the original layout. Major upgrades include the metal roof installed in 2016, new wiring, underground drainage system, encapsulated crawlspace, new plumbing and interior and exterior paint.
On the main level, an impressive foyer leads to the light-filled living room which is enhanced by the original wood floors. The open floor plan leads to the dining room, made cozier with a wood-burning stove. The adjacent sitting room, in what was once a canning kitchen, is perfect for morning coffee or additional seating for large gatherings. A welcoming kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, beautiful butcher block countertops, expansive kitchen island and walk-in pantry. And the well-appointed laundry room offers additional storage options.
Also on the main level, a spacious primary suite is tucked away from the main living areas, creating a private and relaxing sanctuary. The ensuite bath embodies modern luxury, with a generous soaking tub, beautiful stone floor and high-end tile. A second full bath is also available to guests on the main level.
Two airy bedrooms on the second floor are separated by a well-designed jack and jill bath, and two adorable bonus rooms in the converted attic each have long-range views and mini splits, keeping them comfortable year-round.
This home encourages outdoor living with a shady covered porch, therapeutic spa tub, and plenty of play space in the expansive fully-fenced yard, which features a patio with firepit, playground equipment and chicken coop – bring your own chickens!
The sunny ADU contains an ample main room, loft, kitchenette and full bathroom. The main room features a sprung dance floor, perfect for a dance, yoga or art studio.
Located in popular East Asheville, the home is situated in close proximity to the Blueridge Parkway, and has easy access to local grocery stores, restaurants and the Asheville Mall. The Riceville Valley location lies within 20 minutes of downtown Asheville or the popular tourist destination town of Black Mountain.
This gracious home offers all the charm of country living, with close proximity to city conveniences. Perfect as either a primary residence or an investor’s dream, it is absolutely move-in ready and the seller is motivated and ready to let a new owner take stewardship of this historic beauty.
