Modern 4BR / 3.5BA Home in Holbrook Village — 2,657 SF, 2021 Build
Welcome to 209 Marathon Ln — a thoughtfully designed Winston plan in Holbrook Village, built in 2021 and finished for comfortable modern living. At roughly 2,657 square feet, this two-story home opens to an efficient, open-concept main level where the kitchen, dining area, and family room flow together for easy daily life and entertaining. The kitchen is appointed with 36-inch shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, and a tile backsplash, and durable laminate flooring extends across the dining, living and kitchen areas for low-maintenance elegance.
A key practical feature is the main-level bedroom with an adjacent full bath — excellent for guests, multigenerational arrangements, or use as a ground-floor home office. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms and a flexible loft space currently configured as a secondary living area; this loft can function as a media room, home office, or fitness area depending on your needs. Mechanical comfort is handled by a heat-pump HVAC system, and the home includes modern smart touches such as a programmable thermostat and a video doorbell.
Outdoors, the property sits on a manageable 0.14-acre lot with a two-car attached garage and driveway parking. The HOA keeps the neighborhood tidy and uniform (HOA dues required — amount to be confirmed). Location is a standout: Holbrook Village provides a suburban pace while keeping downtown Asheville approximately 7 miles away, putting restaurants, arts, and employment within easy reach. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway and local trailheads for weekend escapes into the mountains.
This home offers a rare combination of newer construction, versatile bedroom configuration (including a main-floor bedroom), and finishes that reduce the need for immediate upgrades. Whether you're seeking an owner-occupied family home or a long-term rental with strong tenant appeal, 209 Marathon Ln is ready to welcome you.

A factual market snapshot around 209 Marathon Ln.
The Asheville/Candler corridor continues to attract buyers seeking lifestyle proximity to the city without urban density. Median sale prices in Buncombe County have moderated from the frenetic peaks of 2020–2022 but remain elevated relative to pre-pandemic levels. Well-priced, newer-construction single-family homes close to Asheville typically sell briskly; average local DOM has normalized into the 4–6 week range but can shorten considerably for turnkey properties with desirable floorplans. For buyers, this is a market to be decisive in: competitively priced properties that show well (like this one) can receive multiple offers. For sellers, the lesson is to price with local comps in mind and highlight features such as the main-level bedroom and modern finishes to stand out.
