About the property

Contemporary 3-Bed Home on Spacious 0.68-Acre Lot

This modern two-story home sits on a nearly three-quarter-acre parcel and immediately separates itself from typical subdivisions by offering space and privacy without sacrificing convenience. Built in 2023, the house pairs clean contemporary lines with practical finishes: vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas, granite countertops in the kitchen, and stainless steel appliances that make daily routines easier. The open main level places the kitchen, dining, and living areas within effortless reach, while a covered front porch and a rear deck extend the living area outdoors for grilling, gardening, or watching the seasons change across the large backyard.

The primary suite occupies a quiet corner of the upper level and features an ensuite with a double vanity; two additional bedrooms share a full bath and provide flexible layouts for a home office, hobby room, or guest space. A half-bath on the main floor keeps traffic flowing during gatherings. Practical touches—central heat pump, central air, composition roof, and a brand-new privacy fence—reinforce the home's move-in-ready status. A separate storage shed provides room for lawn equipment, bikes, or outdoor gear.

Utility arrangements reflect the semi-rural setting: the property uses a shared well and a septic system and is served by Duke Energy for electricity. There is no attached garage, and parking is provided via a standard residential driveway. For families, the property falls within Buncombe County Schools and benefits from highly regarded elementary and middle schools nearby.

Location is one of the home's strongest assets. Alexander offers quiet residential streets yet places you roughly 10 miles from downtown Asheville and about 5 miles from Weaverville—an easy drive for work, dining, arts, or weekend exploration. Whether you're seeking a primary residence that prioritizes outdoor space or a rental investment—local rent comps point to solid demand—this property balances recent construction quality with the lifestyle advantages of a larger lot close to regional amenities.

Editorial market perspective

The Alexander area—part of the Asheville MSA—is showing steady demand driven by new construction and buyers looking for more space near Asheville. Median sale price in the broader area sits around $415,135, and recent sales of comparable new homes demonstrate both a range of pricing and active buyer interest (examples: nearby new homes sold between $389,900 and $699,000 in 2025). Average days on market is approximately 93 days, which suggests the market is neither frenzied nor stagnant—properties with recent construction and thoughtful finishes are attracting offers but buyers are still exercising care.

For single-family homes like this 2023-built residence, momentum favors sellers who price in line with condition and lot size since new builds and modernized homes are in demand. Rental markets are healthy as well: estimated monthly rents near $2,300 indicate potential for owner-occupants considering rental income or investors seeking solid gross yields. Key considerations for buyers include inventory levels (which remain variable across Buncombe County) and the potential for a tax reassessment; verify local supply and consult recent comparable closings when negotiating. Overall, this is a good environment for sellers with quality product and for buyers who move decisively on well-priced homes that combine modern finishes with large lots.
