About this home
What if you could have the space you want, the updates already done, and still be just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville? Welcome to 581 Old Leicester Highway, where more than $90,000 has been invested during the sellers’ ownership and one of the property’s best features may be the one you cannot easily renovate into another home: the land.
Set on .71 acres, this brick ranch offers an unusually large, usable backyard that is fully fenced for privacy, pets, play, gardening and entertaining. There is no HOA, plus RV/camper parking with a power pole and secondary gate access.
Inside, nearly 1,900 square feet of main-level living gives you 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a flexible den. The laundry was relocated to the main level, the walk-in pantry was extended, and engineered flooring was added in the den and laundry. The hall bath received a $22,000 renovation, while fresh interior paint, refreshed trim and shutters, a custom barn door, additional kitchen island outlets and added lighting continue the improvements throughout.
Major investment has been made where it matters, too. The property has a new roof with extensive decking, new 6-inch gutters, downspouts and gutter guards. And then there is the basement: approximately 1,600 additional unfinished square feet ready to serve as storage, a workshop, gym, recreation space or the starting point for your future plans.
Add a two-car attached garage, tankless water heater, large kitchen island, stainless appliances, wood-burning fireplace and mature trees, and this becomes something increasingly hard to duplicate near Asheville: a move-in ready home with land, flexibility, parking and room to grow.
If you have been choosing between a renovated home and a property with real space, come see the one that gives you both....
