Charming cottage in North Asheville's most walkable neighborhood! Prime location doesn't even begin to describe it. It's no exaggeration to say 60 Annandale Avenue sits in the middle of it all. Walk for morning coffee at OWL, City Bakery, or Liberty House, dinner at Jettie Rae's, Taco Temple, or Luella's BBQ, a bottle from Metro Wines, a stop at the renowned Chop Shop, and your pick of Pilates and yoga studios. It's a 15-minute walk to Pack Square downtown and a 20 minute walk to the historic Grove Park Inn, with its long-range sunset views and iconic fireside lodge -- while UNC Asheville, the Merrimon Avenue grocery stores, Claxton Elementary, and Weaver Park are all close at hand. The tree-lined street has a rhythm of its own as the days unfold, with the sweet sounds of children playing in the schoolyard, and then settling into calm, peaceful evenings.
A beautifully landscaped cottage garden and white picket gate greet you out front, leading to a full-width covered porch made for rocking chairs and string-lit evenings. Inside, this 2 bed / 1 bath home offers 1,188 sqft of timeless character -- beautiful hardwood floors and wonderful natural light throughout. The dining room is bright and open, flowing into a comfortable living room with a stove hearth as a cozy focal point. Several major updates are already done for you: a brand-new roof, HVAC, gutters, and dryer vents, all replaced within the last six months.
The indoor charm carries right outside. Step out to a back deck off the laundry/mudroom, then down to a covered patio in the backyard -- the perfect place to string a hammock and unwind. The fully fenced yard is private and peaceful, ready for pets, gardening, and gatherings.
There's room to grow, too: below the main floor, an 11' x 17' room (not included in square footage) with a walkout exterior door and windows is ready to be finished into an office, studio, or family room, with a large separate storage area alongside.
Classic charm, solid bones, in a sought after Asheville neighborhood. A pre-listing home inspection is available upon request.
