Set on 1.34 beautifully landscaped acres in East Asheville, this meticulously cared-for home captures sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the tranquil waters of Jewell Acres Pond from nearly every room. Filled with natural light, the inviting one-level floor plan is equally suited for everyday living or a peaceful mountain retreat. A beautiful kitchen anchors the home, while expansive windows keep the surrounding landscape ever-present. The sunroom is a standout—ideal as an office, exercise space, creative studio, or simply a quiet place to relax while taking in the pond and mountain views. An enclosed porch off the living room provides another inviting connection to the outdoors. The grounds are exceptional, with mature landscaping, extensive hardscaping, and multiple outdoor living spaces. Enjoy the mountain backdrop from the front stone patio and fire pit, or gather around the outdoor fireplace on the more private rear stone patio. The combination of water, mountains, gardens, and outdoor spaces gives the property the feel of a private retreat. Thoughtfully maintained and improved, the home features an updated well, new water filtration and alarm systems, an updated electrical panel, new attic insulation, extensive garden drainage, and significant hardscaping and landscaping improvements.
