About the property

Arts & Crafts Home with Two-Story Great Room and Mountain Views

The first thing you notice at 1031 Hillside Ridge Road is the scale of the living space: a two-story Arts and Crafts great room that immediately sets a tone of thoughtful design and everyday comfort. Built in 2023 and offering 2,621 square feet, this three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was planned for family life and flexible living. The generous main level places the primary suite where it’s most useful — private, accessible, and quietly removed from upstairs activity.

The kitchen is practical and well-detailed with stainless steel appliances, a generous walk-in pantry, and upgraded lighting that highlights durable laminate floors that run through much of the main living area. Adjoining the kitchen, the dining and great room create an easy entertaining circuit; the covered back deck extends that footprint to the outdoors where a custom firepit anchors an intentionally flat, usable yard. Whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying weekday evenings, the outdoor space feels like a true extension of the home.

Upstairs, a large bonus room and expansive loft provide room for a media space, home office, or playroom — versatile areas that adapt as your needs change. Practical touches throughout include a walk-in crawl space that offers substantial storage or a workshop area, a two-car attached garage, central heat pump, and central air with underground electric utilities. The property sits on a level 0.3-acre parcel in Candler View Estates, with long-range mountain views that frame the neighborhood’s residential streets.

Location is a quiet strength here: Candler Elementary is less than a mile away, while Enka Middle and Enka High are both within a short drive. Outdoor recreation — from trails to scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway and access to Mount Pisgah — is easily within reach, making this a strong choice for buyers who want a balance of suburban calm and outdoor opportunity. Thoughtful construction, premium finishes, and a layout tailored for practical living make 1031 Hillside Ridge Road a compelling, move-in ready option for families and professionals alike.

Editorial market perspective

Candler’s market currently leans toward sellers but remains approachable for informed buyers. Inventory sits at roughly three months — a pace that favors sellers yet still produces competitive showings rather than frenzied bidding. Area median sale price is about $450,000, while new-construction homes in Candler View Estates have recently closed between $650,000 and $680,000, reflecting strong local demand for modern, turnkey product; comparable sales show price-per-square-foot in the $250–$260 range. Average days on market in the corridor are near 45 days, indicating steady demand without extreme volatility. Single-family new construction performs particularly well here because buyers trade commute time for modern finishes and outdoor access; rental demand also supports investors, with estimated monthly rents near $2,500 for comparable 3BR homes. For buyers: limited inventory means prepared offers and due diligence (septic and well testing) matter. For sellers: the market supports pricing aligned with recent comps, especially when the home is updated and staged. Overall, this is a market where quality listings move reliably — not overnight — and where attention to inspection details and comparable sales will secure a favorable outcome.
