28 Whittier Dr, Alexander, NC 28701

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.

Alexander is a quiet, semi-rural community that appeals to buyers wanting space without a long commute; downtown Asheville is roughly 10 miles away and Weaverville about 5 miles. The area is experiencing steady residential growth driven by those relocating for outdoor access and Asheville’s cultural amenities. Residents enjoy a slower pace, low-traffic streets, and easy access to Buncombe County Schools. Local services and shopping are a short drive away, while Asheville’s restaurants, breweries, and arts scene are close enough for frequent visits.
