South Asheville Ranch with Finished Basement, Solar & Big Yard
This thoughtfully updated ranch in the Ballantree area delivers flexible living, energy savings, and a private yard — all minutes from South Asheville conveniences. The main level offers a welcoming flow: a bright living room centered on a gas fireplace, an open dining area, and a kitchen that serves everyday life and gathering with ease. Fresh interior paint throughout and tasteful cosmetic updates allow your buyer to move right in.
The finished lower level expands usable space with a second fireplace, ideal for movie nights, a guest suite, home office, or fitness zone. With three bathrooms total and well-considered storage, the layout functions like a larger home without the upkeep. Step outside onto the recently painted deck to take in neighborhood views and unwind; the fenced backyard backs to mature trees and includes a playset and room for gardening or pets.
Practical upgrades set this property apart: solar panels on the roof provide long-term operating savings (documentation recommended), and recent exterior refreshes — new deck paint, shutter and door paint, and updated landscaping — enhance curb appeal without heavy maintenance. While the home has no attached garage, the generous driveway and easy street access keep daily life simple.
Located in desirable South Asheville, this property balances suburban calm with access to dining, grocery, and recreational routes, plus easy drives to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Biltmore area. Presented at $559,000, the home is a standout for buyers who want one-level living plus bonus finished space and the advantage of solar energy.

A factual market snapshot around 58 Braddock Way.
South Asheville continues to draw buyers who value larger yards, single-family homes, and close-in access to outdoor recreation. Median sale prices in the broader Asheville area have moderated from the rapid escalation earlier in the decade, but well-appointed homes in established subdivisions still command attention and often sell faster than the broader inventory. Expect buyers to respond well to features that reduce carrying costs (solar) and increase usable living area (finished basement). Pricing at $559k positions this house competitively among ranches with similar square footage and upgrades; a local MLS comp search is recommended for aggressive pricing tactics.
