Property Description

Charming Arts & Crafts home set on 3.77 private, wooded acres in desirable Mars Hill, just minutes from Asheville and downtown Mars Hill. Ideal as a primary residence or second home, this three-bedroom, 2.5-bath property offers warmth, character and room to grow, highlighted by the hand-crafted feel throughout the interior. The open floor plan connects the living room and efficient kitchen, creating a comfortable and functional space for everyday living and entertaining. A dedicated TV room provides a cozy retreat, while beautiful wood floors, and a welcoming woodstove add to the home's inviting character. The kitchen features ample cabinetry and tile countertops, along with a convenient laundry and pantry area offering additional storage and functionality. The spacious primary suite is a standout, offering a comfortable and private retreat. Enjoy the peaceful natural setting from the inviting screened-in porch or gather year-round on the back deck featuring a wood-burning fireplace, ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors. Seasonal winter views include a picturesque view of a nearby pond, adding to the property's natural appeal. The unfinished full basement offers excellent expansion potential and includes a functional craft area at base of the stairs, complete with built-in counters, a sink, additional lighting and a built-in electric wall heater, ideal for hobbies, projects or workspace needs. The property also offers ample room to build a two-car garage and an outbuilding. Conveniently near the Ivy River while not in a flood plain, this home combines privacy, flexibility and easy access, approximately 25 minutes to downtown Asheville, 15 minutes from Weaverville and 10 minutes to downtown Mars Hill.
