About This Property

Enjoy the perfect balance of mountain tranquility and city convenience in this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in the established Kinsale Ridge community, located just minutes from downtown Asheville. Positioned to capture beautiful long-range mountain views, this property offers peaceful living with easy access to shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation.

Inside, the inviting floor plan features hardwood floors throughout and a comfortable living room anchored by a gas log fireplace. The kitchen is well-equipped with ample cabinetry, a new stainless-steel refrigerator, and a welcoming breakfast nook, flowing seamlessly into the dining area for easy everyday living and entertaining.

The main-level primary suite provides a private retreat with an ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, family, or a home office.

A standout feature of this home is the full, unfinished basement with an open layout and no interior obstructions—offering exceptional potential for a secondary living space, home gym, workshop, or studio. With its own garage door and exterior entrance, the basement presents a rare opportunity for future rental or Airbnb potential.

Enjoy the outdoors from both the front and rear porches, overlooking a spacious half-acre lot with a gentle rolling slope and mountain views. This move-in ready home also offers peace of mind with major systems—including the roof—less than three years old.

Located in the desirable Leicester area of Buncombe County, this property offers quiet mountain living just minutes from the energy and culture of Asheville.
