About this House

What's unique:Updated bathroomPeaceful country settingOffice nookUpdated upper-level unitCharming kitchenSmaller backyard shed
Excellent Opportunity in Swannanoa!

Whether you're looking for a home with built-in income potential or a savvy investment property, this versatile duplex fits the bill. Tucked into a peaceful country setting just minutes from Warren Wilson College, scenic trails, and community parks—and only 12 minutes to both downtown Black Mountain and Asheville—the location blends convenience with charm.

The updated upper-level unit offers a bright 1-bedroom, 1-bath studio layout with a cozy living area, a charming kitchen, and a private balcony off the bedroom (furniture can stay!). The lower-level unit, newly renovated and roughly twice the size of the upper, features a spacious bedroom and sitting area, a well-appointed eat-in kitchen, an office nook, and an updated bathroom.

Both units share a convenient laundry area with exterior access, and storage is abundant: a large two-story shed beside the home, a smaller backyard shed, and an attached storage area on the lower level.

This is a great setup for house hacking—live in one unit and rent the other to offset your mortgage—or keep both units rented for pure investment income. Prefer a single-family layout instead? An architect is scheduled to provide plans next week for reinstalling the original interior staircase that once connected the two levels.

    "Lots of great hiking trails, parks and woods a minutes drive away. 10 minutes from Asheville, Black Mountain and Blue Ridge Parkway. Schools: Artspace Charter, Asheville Christian Academy, Warren Wilson College. Close enough to the city for convenience of nearby entertainment and restaurants, yet far enough away to experience nature in the woods or down at the farm. "
