Single-Level Modern Home with Detached Workshop Near Downtown Asheville
Just five miles from downtown Asheville yet set on a quiet residential street, this newly built one-level home (2026) balances contemporary finishes with practical, everyday flow. The open living area centers on a warm gas fireplace and stretches toward a kitchen designed to handle gatherings: generous center island, quartz countertops, and a walk-in pantry that keeps counters uncluttered. Wide doorways and single-floor living make the plan feel effortless and accessible.
The primary wing is calm and private, while two additional bedrooms and a well-appointed full bath serve family or guests. An adaptable bonus room off the main living space reads as a dedicated home office, media room, or guest retreat — the sort of flexible square footage buyers prize now. Built-in closets and quality finishes are found throughout, reflecting the care taken in the finishes and millwork.
Outside, a covered back patio creates a sheltered outdoor room for grilling, evening conversations, or quiet solo time. The detached workshop is a standout: currently set for projects and storage, it also presents future ADU potential for rental income or independent studio space (subject to permitting). A three-car garage and thoughtful storage solutions support an active lifestyle without clutter.
Location is a real advantage: a short mile to nearby eateries and shopping for everyday needs, and under a 10-minute drive to Asheville’s restaurants, galleries, and nightlife. For buyers seeking new-construction quality with small-lot convenience, this property checks those boxes — a low-maintenance, move-in-ready option that still leaves room to personalize the detached building and outdoor spaces.
Practical and polished, the home is ideal for someone who wants modern systems and finishes but prefers single-level living close to the city. With an intelligent floor plan, durable surfaces, and flexible bonus spaces, 19 E Starnes Cove Rd reads as both a refined primary residence and a smart long-term investment in Asheville’s in-demand neighborhoods.
