If you're searching for a peaceful mountain home with modern comforts and easy access to Asheville, your search stops here! This beautiful 3 bedroom/2 bathroom upper level duplex is nestled in the mountains of the Swannanoa Valley off of a dead-end road. The house has an open floor plan great for entertaining, a large covered front porch to enjoy all seasons, and a wood burning stove to cozy up in front of during the winter months. The owners put a lot of love into this rental. They created a serene yard, perfect for relaxation and connection to nature. The native flowers, bushes, fruits, and trees attract birds, butterflies, and the occasional bear! This home is conveniently located 30 minutes from Asheville airport, 15 minutes to downtown Asheville, 10 minutes to downtown Black Mountain, and 10 minutes to the VA Hospital.
The spacious eat-in kitchen has been fully remodeled with all new appliances including a gas range and vent hood, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and under-counter lighting. Perfect for the home cook! There is a large breakfast nook with hidden storage in the kitchen. The guest bathroom is also recently remodeled to include a double vanity and large bathtub. The perfect way to unwind after a long day of hiking, mountain biking, or paddling!
Amenities included in this rental are:
1. Electric, water, & sewer paid by landlord
2. Washer & Dryer (unless you want to bring your own)
3. Fenced-in back yard and access to all outdoor spaces. This is not shared with basement tenant.
4. 1 car garage with the ability to park one additional vehicle in the driveway
The unit does NOT come furnished and will be available June 15th. You are responsible for yard maintenance. Background and credit check required. Security deposit of $2,500 and first month rent due at move-in. Pets are accepted per individual and at an additional $50 fee/pet per month.
Of note, the property manager lives in the basement unit. He is extremely quiet, respectful, never has guests, and is able to fix most issues that arise.
We are hoping to get a long-term rental agreement, 1 year minimum. We do pay water, electric, and sewer. However, if those utilities increase more than 15% of prior year, renter is responsible for the difference. You are responsible for trash pick-up (If you use FCC, it is ~30/month) and internet (Spectrum is ~65/month). Proof of Renter's Insurance needed upon move-in.
