Property Description
Welcome to 96 Longview Road, a character-filled West Asheville home offering a rare combination of space, privacy, outdoor living, and a convenient neighborhood setting. Original architectural details, including arched openings and wavy-glass windows, blend beautifully with extensive improvements made throughout the home and property. The spacious main level features hardwood floors, generous ceiling heights, abundant natural light, and connected living spaces that make the home feel both comfortable and inviting. An open living room with gas fireplace adds warmth and character, while the functional kitchen offers a gas range, island sink, excellent storage, and an easy connection to the dining area, mudroom, and outdoor spaces. The designated coffee station is an unexpected highlight! A window-filled office and full bath complete the main level. Upstairs you'll find all four bedrooms, including an impressive primary suite overlooking the backyard. The primary bedroom features an entire bank of windows, two closets, including an organized walk-in, and a beautifully updated bath with dual vanity, illuminated mirror, and re-tiled walk-in shower with built-in bench. A dedicated upstairs laundry room has marble countertops, deep stainless-steel sink, and ample storage. Outdoor living is a standout here. The large, private screened patio features a polished natural-wood ceiling, recessed lighting, ceiling fan, heavy-duty screening, and direct access from the dining room. Just beyond, the fully fenced backyard feels surprisingly private for such a convenient in-town location. Mature landscaping, stone garden steps, established trees and shrubs, and an upper sitting or fire-pit area create multiple places to enjoy the outdoors. The home has seen substantial improvements, including a newer roof, custom stone masonry and retaining walls, professional drainage improvements, updated primary bath, newer water heater, whole-house water filtration, and extensive work to the basement and outdoor spaces. The massive basement provides exceptional storage and both interior and exterior access. All of this is tucked along desirable Longview Road in an established West Asheville neighborhood, with coffee shops, bakeries, breweries, recreation, and other neighborhood favorites within easy reach. A private backyard retreat, four-bedroom floor plan, extensive improvements, and classic Asheville character come together in a location that's hard to beat.
