Old meets new in this charming bungalow! In the heart of West Asheville & under 10 minutes to downtown. Character abounds as soon as you walk in the door. Newly refinished hardwoods & fresh paint throughout, plus new tile in both bathrooms. Lovely built-ins flank the toasty, period bricked fireplace in the living room. The kitchen has been updated nicely with beautiful silestone countertops, a gas stove, dishwasher & pantry. The arched entry to the eat-in area offers architectural interest. Warm & efficient gas heat & hot water. The fully functional lower level living space (just below 7' ceilings & not counted in stated sq ft) provides an additional 340 square feet with a laundry room, full bath & bonus room. Large, covered front porch is tucked among the redbuds for privacy. Fully fenced front & back yard provides a safe play area for the human & furry kids.
