Location is everything - and this one delivers. Perfectly positioned backing up to Candace Pickens Park and right next to Ira B. Jones Elementary School, this 2BR/1BA home offers a lifestyle that's hard to match. Morning walks through the park, an easy school drop-off next door, and the ultimate convenience of being minutes from grocery stores, Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, local coffee shops, and popular restaurants - everything you need is truly at your fingertips. Inside, you'll find smart, energy-efficient upgrades including fully owned solar panels and a reverse osmosis water filtration system for clean, high-quality drinking water right from the tap. The detached garage has been thoughtfully converted into flexible office/studio space - ideal for remote work, creative projects, or a private retreat. The all-season sunroom, heated and cooled by a PTAC unit, creates year round comfort and bonus living space. Step outside to the inviting covered front porch or enjoy the spacious yard with room to garden, entertain, or simply unwind. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines unbeatable convenience, direct access to green space, modern efficiency, and functional flexibility - all in one of Asheville's most convenient and desirable locations.
