10 Cornelia Street,Asheville, NC 28801
Asheville, NC 28801
Description
Nestled on a quiet, one-block-long street in Asheville's beloved Chestnut Hills neighborhood, this extensively renovated modern cottage offers a rare combination of thoughtful design, refined craftsmanship, and walkable urban living. Completely rebuilt in 2020 with every detail carefully considered, this home feels both elevated and deeply comfortable-bright, quiet, energy-efficient, and effortlessly livable. Inside, custom walnut built-ins, light hardwood floors, tasteful fixtures, and expansive high-end Pella windows create warm, light-filled spaces throughout. The kitchen features beautiful granite counters and backsplash, quality appliances, and a custom banquette perfect for slow mornings or intimate dinners. A dedicated office with sliding door, heated bathroom flooring, interior soundproofing, dimmable lighting throughout, and abundant custom storage reflect the home's exceptional level of intentionality. Outdoor living is equally compelling. Professionally designed by Gardenology, the terraced front and back gardens feature stonework, pathways, river stone, mature perennials, and curated gathering spaces in place of traditional lawn. Enjoy mountain views from the welcoming front porch with custom trellis, or relax on the covered rear deck overlooking the courtyard, plant-filled garden, and firepit area. The semi-finished lower level-with new foundation, polished concrete floors, and foam insulation-offers flexible space for a home gym, workshop, sauna, additional office, or storage. Just outside your door and within easy walking distance are some of Asheville's top cafés (e.g., Liberty House, Pulp & Sprout), bakeries (e.g., OWL, City Bakery), grocery stores, yoga studios, and downtown destinations, along with exceptional walking, running, and cycling routes. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey home in one of Asheville's most charming and desirable neighborhoods. Please see attachments for a detailed list of features. Please note, due to the shared driveway, work would need to be done to in order to have an off-street parking space. There is no dishwasher currently in the kitchen, but space was left to accommodate a future installation if this is important to the new owner. The dedicated office space could be converted to a second (potentially ensuite) bathroom.
