Beautifully renovated bungalow in beloved Montford! Extraordinary updates and fine finishes make this 2 br/2.5 bath home a truly amazing property tucked away on a lovely level lot against a woodsy backdrop. Enjoy the tranquil scenery from the covered front porch. Nestled near the end of the street, you'll appreciate a sense of privacy and no thru traffic. Inside, the open floor plan and interior design are completely fabulous! The spacious living room touts a built-in woodstove with a magnificent white brick frame. The large kitchen features an island w/ breakfast bar, newer appliances, and stunning tile backsplash. Downstairs is a laundry/mud room w/ sink plus a bonus room that could serve multiple purposes (currently used as a 3rd bedroom; ceiling is just under 7'). The back deck could easily become your favorite spot with a massive vaulted roof that creates your own private outdoor oasis! Don't miss this rare opportunity just minutes to downtown Asheville!
