Property Description

Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in Kenilworth, this cottage offers the kind of character that's hard to replicate — original charm intact, with meaningful updates throughout. The main level features a spacious living and dining area, two bedrooms, a full bath, and a sunroom that pulls in natural light year-round. The kitchen has an adjacent space well suited for pantry storage or a prep area. Out back, the deck opens to mature, established gardens, a flat yard, and two separate parking areas. An outdoor shed handles the overflow. The brand-new finished basement — with both interior and exterior access — is where this home separates itself. The layout works equally well as a primary suite, a guest or in-law suite, or a rental unit, giving buyers real options depending on how they want to use the space. If you've been wanting a special home in Asheville - This is the one!
