Set in the sought-after Parkway Forest community, this bright and welcoming ranch sits gracefully on a hillside, offering peaceful surroundings and lovely mountain views. Enjoy the best of both worlds with a quiet setting just 15 minutes to downtown Asheville, 5 minutes to Pisgah National Forest, and 8 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway. No HOA or CCR's mean added flexibility and peace of mind- including the potential to use this as a short-term rental (to be verified by buyer).

The main level features an open, airy living room that flows into a spacious kitchen-perfect for everyday living or gathering with friends. Three bedrooms are conveniently located on this floor, including a primary suite with its own private bath. The lower level adds even more flexibility with an additional bedroom, full bath, bonus room, and a large den with direct outdoor access. A garage on this level makes coming and going easy. Recent updates include new countertops, LVP flooring in the basement, a new stove, and a new water heater. Outside, you'll find ample parking in the driveway plus a storage shed for extra convenience. This home offers comfort, versatility, and an unbeatable location-ready for its next chapter.
