Description
A rare combination of space, setting and thoughtful renovation, this exceptional Arden residence offers more than 4,700 square feet of beautifully updated living space on an expansive, level property with frontage along the river. Inside, the home balances contemporary finishes with architectural character. The main living spaces are bright and open, highlighted by soaring beamed ceilings, abundant natural light and a beautifully renovated kitchen designed as a true centerpiece of the home. Custom cabinetry, an oversized island and a professional-style 48-inch Forno range create a space equally suited for everyday living and large-scale entertaining. Generous living and dining areas extend from the kitchen, while multiple access points connect the interior to the home's outdoor spaces. The primary suite offers impressive proportions, vaulted ceilings and direct access to the outdoors, while the home's additional bedrooms and updated baths provide flexibility for family and guests. Throughout the residence, wide-plank flooring, extensive renovations and carefully selected finishes create a cohesive, sophisticated aesthetic. The finished basement dramatically expands the home's possibilities. Designed as a true second living quarters, it features an eat-in kitchen, spacious family room, recreation area, bedroom and additional sleeping space, making it exceptionally well suited for extended family, guests, multigenerational living or a private secondary living arrangement. Outside, the property becomes equally compelling. An expansive, level lawn stretches toward the river, framed by mature trees and providing a sense of openness increasingly difficult to find in South Asheville. Multiple outdoor living areas invite gatherings throughout the seasons, while the detached garage provides valuable additional parking, workshop or storage space. A Generac generator and whole-home dehumidifier add another layer of comfort and preparedness. Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains remarkably connected to the best of the area. Glenn Bridge River Park, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Asheville Regional Airport, Airport Road and Biltmore Park are all within convenient reach, placing dining, shopping, recreation and travel close at hand while preserving the space and privacy of a much larger property. River frontage. More than 4,700 square feet. Second living quarters. Expansive level grounds. Exceptional renovations and a location at the center of everything South Asheville has to offer - this is a property designed not simply around square footage, but around the freedom to live, gather and entertain on a larger scale.
