Extensively renovated and reimagined, this modern cottage in North Asheville's coveted Lakeview Park neighborhood blends clean contemporary design with the enduring charm of its 1952 roots. Situated on a quiet dead-end street, the home offers direct access to a walking trail leading to Beaver Lake. Beaver Lake is a scenic 50-acre, 28-foot-deep man made lake just 3 miles north of downtown Asheville. Beaver Lake is known locally for its peaceful 2 mile walking trail and tranquil waterfront views. 4 Baird Lane features 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 3,060 square feet of updated living space on a .24-acre lot. Inside, newly refinished original oak hardwood floors pair with curated finishes that create a warm, timeless feel. The kitchen was redesigned to service both everyday living and entertaining, featuring durable quartz countertops, brand new stainless steel appliances, and streamlined modern cabinetry. Major system upgrades provide peace of mind, including brand new HVAC system, updated electrical and plumbing, and a new roof - offering the comfort and confidence of modern infrastructure within a character-rich home. A spacious main-level primary suite offers a comfortable retreat, highlighted by a European-style en-suite bath featuring a sleek zero-entry shower for a spa-like, modern experience. Upstairs, a loft-style hideaway, wrapped in original wood paneling, brings warmth, texture, and architectural character to the space. Natural light pours into the original windows, including a striking triangular feature window, framing seasonal mountain-top views and creating a bright yet cozy atmosphere. The loft space includes a renovated full bath with a sleek, modern shower, offering both style and functionality - ideal for guests or a private upper-level suite. This renovation included a full transformation of a raw, lower level storage space into a seamless extension of the main home. The finished basement expands the home's versatility with a dedicated office, full bath, additional living area, wet bar and private theater room - ideal for hosting guests, working from home or unwinding. A bonus space, tucked discreetly off the office, behind a hidden bookcase door, has been reimagined as a fully finished storage closet - large, clean, dry and thoughtfully planned for organization. Large, new, glass sliders allow access from the finished basement living area as well as the bedroom to a generous outdoor space. Outside, native plantings and thoughtful landscaping frame a patio overlooking the expansive backyard. It's an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey, thoughtfully updated home with character and flexibility, in one of North Asheville's most established and desirable neighborhoods.
