Tucked at the end of a quiet road just 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, 32 Fair Drive delivers the kind of privacy so many are searching for! A peaceful, pastoral setting where life feels a little slower and sweeter but with easy access to amenities and downtown Asheville. It's the sort of property that has long drawn artists and makers to the area, with an indoor studio or home office (with it's own mini split for zoned temperature control) and separate detached studio with power; currently used as a photography darkroom for developing and printing. Workshop also has power. Overall, the appeal here is universal: comfort, character, and room to enjoy it all. And with a split bedroom floorplan offering privacy on both ends of the home, it's a natural fit for multi-generational living or working from home with room to spread out.
The approximately 0.64 acre lot has been lovingly cultivated over the years. A mature peach tree produces baskets of fresh fruit each summer, while cherry blossoms, dogwoods, magnolia, and purple hydrangea take turns painting the property with color from spring on. Raised garden beds are already established, so everything is in place to start your own mini homestead.
Inside, sunlight fills an open, modernized floorplan full of character. The generous great room features an electric fireplace and space for a dining area. The large kitchen, outfitted with stainless appliances, flows directly onto the expansive back deck. Where mornings can be started with coffee and birdsong. As the day winds down there's no better place to slow down than this private, quiet, back deck, taking in the evening view over the pasture backyard. Or gathering around the firepit set in handsome flagstone and rock- beautiful, functional, and wonderfully low-maintenance, with no mowing required around this hangout area, due to being surrounded by rock design. A extra perk!
Practical updates bring peace of mind, too: Brand new roof in 2025, and septic pumped in 2025. The well pump and main water supply line were both replaced in 2023 and the flagstone work and deck were completed in 2021 by the previous owners. Welcoming, well cared for, and truly move-in ready! A home that's easy to fall in love with, whatever you dream of doing, this home provides it all!
