Nestled in the wonderful and established Riceville Forest neighborhood, this spacious home is waiting to be your wooded mountain retreat! Built in 2012, the home has new landscaping in front, including a retaining wall and flagstone path. The gorgeous wooded lot provides a sense of privacy and seclusion. The top floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Large primary suite has a soaking tub, shower and a walk-in closet. The main floor hosts the living and dining room, kitchen, half bath and an office, with access to a large, covered rear deck. The walk-out basement has a finished bonus space that includes a sink, full bathroom, and an exterior entrance/exit to a second large rear deck. (Short term or homestay rental potential - buyer to confirm.) The basement also has a single-car garage and plenty of space that could be used as a workshop or storage. This home is convenient to East Asheville amenities and only a 15 minute drive to downtown Asheville!
