What sets 326 Emma Road apart is its combination of high-performance systems and immediate proximity to Asheville’s most active creative corridors. Completed in 2026 by local builder Nicholson and Sun LLC, this contemporary farmhouse-style home is NET‑ZERO Certified and sited on a level 0.33-acre parcel with 140 feet of Emma Road frontage. From the street you’ll notice the metal roof and clean modern lines; step inside and the 14-foot ceilings and clerestory windows give the main living spaces an expansive, airy character.
The single-story layout hosts three bedrooms and two full baths across 1,280 square feet. Mechanical details matter here: ductless heating and cooling, advanced air sealing, superior insulation and clean mechanical ventilation were specified for healthy indoor air and dramatically reduced operating costs. A 4kW solar array contributes to net-zero performance and makes this home an exceptional option for buyers prioritizing long-term utility savings.
Sociable outdoor living is a design priority. A substantial covered deck extends the living area and frames pastoral views across the neighborhood—the perfect setting for quiet evenings or small gatherings. Practical site features include a level driveway with parking for two and a crawl-space foundation. The RM8 zoning also allows flexibility in future use — single-family living now with potential accessory dwelling possibilities down the road.
Location is a quiet advantage: Green Path Commons places you 0.5 miles from the French Broad River Greenway, 0.8 miles from New Belgium Brewery and 1.2 miles from the River Arts District. Downtown Asheville and its restaurants, galleries and music venues are about a 10-minute drive. Whether you’re seeking an efficient primary residence, an eco-forward rental, or a low-maintenance second home near culture and river recreation, this property blends thoughtful systems with a short, convenient commute to the city’s best assets.
