About this House

Tucked into a peaceful mountain setting just minutes from downtown Canton, 261 Star Ridge Road offers an inviting combination of privacy, updates, outdoor space, and everyday convenience. Situated on approximately 0.93 acres, this move-in-ready home features 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, plus a versatile bonus room that adds valuable flexibility for a home office, hobby space, dressing room, guest space, nursery, or additional storage. Inside, recent improvements give the home a fresh feel, including new flooring, a new mini-split system, and an updated kitchen with new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances. An electric fireplace anchors the living room and adds a cozy touch for cooler mountain evenings. Outside, mature trees frame the peaceful setting while mountain views provide a beautiful backdrop. Raised garden beds, a storage shed, and a small playhouse add to the usable outdoor space, while a recently added stone walkway leads from the driveway to the side porch and adds both charm and function. Despite its tucked-away feel, the location keeps you close to everything, with downtown Canton just minutes away, convenient access to I-40, and downtown Asheville approximately 25 minutes from home. Previously used as a long-term rental by the current owners, the property also offers potential for buyers exploring an investment opportunity. Whether you're looking for a first home, a simpler one-level lifestyle, an investment property, or your own affordable place in the mountains, 261 Star Ridge Road packs a surprising amount of possibility into a charming Western North Carolina setting.

    "Iv lived here just over 4 years. It's quiet, except for your usual stuff like the occasional idiot flying through in their jacked up truck. You can walk to Two convenience stores and a few restaurants, a comic shop, a brew pub and a few other things. Far enough away from Asheville to be enjoyable but close enough to get there if nerd be.
