Welcome home to this beautiful Arden gem in the highly sought-after Balsam Ridge neighborhood! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by warm hardwood floors and an open-concept layout that flows right into a spacious great room. The stunning stone fireplace soars up to the 2-story ceiling, creating a cozy yet dramatic focal point you'll love year-round. The kitchen features sleek quartz countertops and a welcoming island bar that's perfect for breakfast, casual meals, or entertaining. Upstairs, there's plenty of flexible space to fit your lifestyle. Set up a quiet study in the loft, and enjoy movie nights or game time in the additional family/media room. You'll have multiple spots to unwind outdoors, too. Sip your morning coffee on the large covered front porch, then end your day in the fenced backyard on the charming 15x15 screened porch - an ideal place to relax and watch the sun go down. When the weather turns cooler, gather around the firepit and enjoy the crisp mountain evenings.The location is hard to beat: just over 5 minutes to Biltmore Park, 10 minutes to the NC Arboretum, Blue Ridge Parkway, or Asheville Regional Airport, and only about 20 minutes to both downtown Asheville and Hendersonville. It's a truly central spot with easy access to everything the area has to offer. Come see for yourself how special this home is - call to schedule your appointment today!
