This is the jewel you've been waiting for! This charming home is in the heart of Asheville's historic Kenilworth community, an enchanting neighborhood known for its proximity to downtown Asheville. So, don't let the zip code fool you. Step inside to thoughtful craftsmanship and comfortable living. A modern gas fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings, will keep you warm. The entire living area showcases hardwood flooring, and the open kitchen features granite countertops, beautiful cabinetry and a walk-in pantry with custom Elfa shelving and "hidden" extra storage. Flow effortlessly from the dining area through French doors to a spacious rear deck, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living spaces. The fenced backyard is wonderfully-landscaped, and with its stone patio, is a perfect retreat for a quiet evening or entertaining in warmer weather. This area blends naturally with the side lawn, ideal for pets or play. Your private sanctuary, back inside, is the primary bedroom suite, featuring a well-appointed ensuite bathroom with copper sinks and gorgeous leathered granite, tiled shower and flooring, and a walk-in closet (also with a custom Elfa design). Enjoy the suite's own covered porch offering long-range mountain and city views. The upstairs also boasts an additional two bedrooms, full bath, and a full-sized stacked washer and dryer. Revel in the convenience of an attached, freshly-painted, two-car garage with tall ceilings. Kenilworth Park with its sports courts and field, walking path, playground and picnic spots is just down the road. Also, 71 McLain is just three homes away from the upscale, contemporary and intimate Beaucatcher Heights where you can delight in a leisurely stroll on its sidewalks. Each October, support the Kenilworth Artists Association's Studio Tour, a celebration of local creativity and neighborhood connection. Living in this desirable location, which perfectly balances an urban lifestyle with a mountain setting, will allow you to easily discover all of Asheville's restaurants, breweries, music venues, and cultural opportunities. Just minutes away, outdoor adventures are at your fingertips. Consider an annual pass to the Biltmore Estate just a couple of miles away. You're sure to love living here!
