This brick ranch at 11 Looking Glass Lane is a single-story home built in 1962 with 1,498 square feet of living space on a level 0.27-acre lot. The property presents a straightforward mid-century layout and durable exterior construction—brick veneer with a composition shingle roof—and sits on a residential block in Parkway Forest, an established East Asheville neighborhood. The lot’s size and level topography create a clear opportunity for expanded outdoor living or garden improvements.
Inside, documented features include three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms, hardwood floors, and an updated kitchen. Mechanical systems note a heat pump for heating; no central cooling is documented. Parking is via a standard residential driveway with space for two vehicles and there is no garage or basement. Condition is listed as good, and improvement notes specifically call out hardwood floors and the updated kitchen.
Long-term ownership signals and public records indicate owner-occupancy dating back to a 1977 purchase, which helps explain the maintained condition and incremental updates. The property is zoned RS-4 under City of Asheville jurisdiction; permitted uses include single-family occupancy, accessory dwelling units, and limited home occupations. Setback guidelines and municipal utilities—municipal water and sewer, Piedmont Natural Gas service, and Duke Energy electric—are documented.
Parkway Forest’s location provides easy access to regional amenities: the Blue Ridge Parkway (about 1 mile), Asheville Mall (about 2 miles), and Downtown Asheville (about 3 miles). Local schools associated with the address include Charles C. Bell Elementary, A.C. Reynolds Middle, and A.C. Reynolds High. The broader East Asheville market has shown multi-year appreciation and remains relatively balanced with moderate inventory and an average days-on-market figure consistent with area norms. For buyers and investors, key due diligence items include professional inspection of aging systems and verification of any permits for past renovations; the absence of documented cooling suggests adding or upgrading climate control could be a practical near-term improvement.
