Charming One-Level Craftsman Steps from Downtown Brevard
276 Cambridge Drive is a thoughtfully designed, one-level Craftsman residence in Deerlake Village — an enviable pocket of Brevard that lets you leave the car behind for everyday errands. At 1,382 square feet the home balances efficient footprint with comfortable proportions: two oversized bedrooms, two full baths, and an open-plan living area that flows to a bright dining space and well-equipped kitchen with full-size appliances (dishwasher, electric range, microwave).
The Craftsman details are evident in the exterior lines and covered front entry, while the interior presents a clean, move-in-ready palette that invites simple, contemporary updates if desired. The primary suite offers an en-suite bath and generous closet; a second bedroom and full bath make this layout flexible for guests, a home office, or a live/work setup. Practical touches include a two-car attached garage with laundry hookups and driveway parking for visitors.
Outside, the roughly quarter-acre lot provides a private yard with room for a garden and easy outdoor living. Deerlake Village emphasizes walkability — a short stroll brings you to downtown Brevard’s independent shops, cafés, and galleries; weekend access to concerts and festivals adds cultural appeal. For outdoor enthusiasts, Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest, and dozens of trails and waterfalls are a short drive away, making this a rare combination of in-town convenience and immediate access to iconic Western North Carolina recreation.
Whether you’re seeking a low-maintenance primary residence, a seasonal pied-à-terre, or a rental for visitors drawn by Brevard’s outdoors and arts scene, this Craftsman ranch presents a compelling offering.

A factual market snapshot around 276 Cambridge Dr.
Brevard’s market sits at the crossroads of lifestyle demand and relative affordability within the Asheville MSA. Downtown-adjacent, walkable homes like this command a premium because they combine convenience with immediate access to outdoor assets. Local inventory tends to be tighter for well-located single-level homes, and buyers often prioritize neighborhood character and proximity to trails over raw square footage. Median sale prices in the area have climbed moderately year-over-year (~3–5% in recent 12 months), and renovated, turn-key properties in Deerlake Village typically move faster than average — though this specific listing’s DOM (116) is longer than local norms, suggesting opportunity for negotiation or a targeted marketing refresh. Verify HOA dues when modeling carrying costs; long-term fundamentals are solid due to Brevard’s strong lifestyle draw.
