Hear and see the beautiful creek from one of the two expansive porches. Rumor has it that this historic home once served as a stop for stagecoaches. There is no doubt visitors were once wowed by the elegant clapboard & stone clad structure. The beautiful home still stands proudly, but is updated for modern living. Warm by one of four fireplaces, or hang out in the kitchen by the wood stove. The living room is massive and the dining room feels grand! Upstairs could accommodate more beds than the listing suggests, and there is a main level ensuite as well. Outside, the land is mostly level with direct creek access. The neighborhood amenities of an outdoor fireplace and gorgeous barn are conveniently located just steps away from the front door. Oh the gatherings that could happen here! The home's location is decidedly country, but minutes from groceries, and Downtown Asheville is a mere 20 minutes away! The gated neighborhood provides privacy.
