A dramatic outdoor room announces this Ballantree residence — an expanded 432-square-foot deck that projects from a 0.53-acre, landscaped lot and turns everyday evenings into westward-facing mountain moments with views toward Mt. Pisgah. Large sliding glass doors connect that deck to a 26-foot-long combination breakfast and family room, creating the sort of indoor-outdoor setting that families and entertainers prize.
Inside, the home reads as a comfortable, well-maintained traditional: generous living and dining spaces, a main-level bedroom (ideal for guests or a home office) with an adjacent full bath, and a gas fireplace that anchors family gatherings. The fully finished lower level broadens the house’s footprint with a Harmony Interiors–designed home theater, an office area, a half bath, and direct access to the gas-heated two-car garage with built-in shelving — a thoughtful layout for multigenerational living or dedicated media nights.
Upstairs, you’ll find a primary suite with a full bath plus two additional bedrooms sharing a second full bath. Mechanical systems are a mixed package of ductless heat pump, natural gas and wall furnace options, reflecting updates and original components typical of a 1980 construction that has been lovingly maintained by one family since 1986. A composition roof, underground electric service to the house and public utilities complete the practical side of ownership.
Valuation context matters here: local comparable sales and a sales-comparison approach suggest a fair market range of $700,000–$750,000, with a midpoint of $725,000, while the current assessed value is notably lower. Ballantree’s large lots, mature tree canopy and proximity to South Asheville amenities — Biltmore Park Town Square (3.5 miles), the Blue Ridge Parkway (2 miles) and downtown Asheville (about 5 miles) — create long-term appeal for buyers seeking space without sacrificing access.
This home suits a range of buyers: families who want flexible main-level living and room for kids to roam, media lovers drawn to the custom theater, or buyers seeking a turnkey traditional with a distinctive outdoor vantage point. Recommended next steps include professional inspections of major systems and a roof assessment to confirm condition and remaining useful life.
