17 Laurel Trail, Asheville, NC 28803

Tucked at the end of Laurel Trail in Cedarwood Estates, 17 Laurel Trail is a cottage-style retreat set on a nearly one-acre wooded parcel with long-range mountain views. Wake to morning light filtering through Andersen windows and skylights that scatter a soft glow across the living room’s gas-log fireplace — a warm, lived-in center for slow weekends and intimate gatherings. The home’s two-story footprint (1,676 SF) affords separation and privacy between living areas and bedrooms, while the sloped lot creates a feeling of being nestled into the landscape.

Original flooring and carpets tell a story of careful ownership and create a canvas for personalization; thoughtful updates will reveal the home’s full potential. Skylights and large windows bring the outdoors in, and several vantage points capture changing light across the treetops and distant mountains — a daily reminder of Asheville’s natural beauty. Practical systems are addressed: a new HVAC installation is scheduled for March 2–3, 2026, reducing near-term capital expense and adding comfort throughout the seasons (verify completion and warranty as part of due diligence).

Outside, the 0.91‑acre lot feels private and expansive — ideal for gardens, outdoor living, or a sensitive renovation that opens further to the views. A two-car attached garage and driveway with turnaround area provide convenient parking and storage for gear and projects. Utilities include municipal water and sewer, propane heating, and electric cooling.

Cedarwood Estates balances tranquil suburban character with easy access to regional highlights: AC Reynolds Middle and High Schools sit about 1.4 miles away, the Blue Ridge Parkway is roughly 2 miles for immediate access to scenic drives and trailheads, and downtown Asheville is an easy 6‑mile drive when you crave restaurants, galleries, and events. With steady appreciation in the neighborhood and recent comparable sales nearby, this property represents both a comfortable primary residence and a clear canvas for value-enhancing renovation.

This cottage is for buyers who want to step into a peaceful, wooded setting with mountain panoramas and add their finishing touches. Bring a designer’s eye and enjoy the rare combination of privacy, proximity, and potential in one of Asheville’s established neighborhoods.
