About the property

Freshly Painted 3BR Bungalow on a Level 0.24-Acre Lot

This classic bungalow on Blue Ridge Road combines practical single-level living with a generous, level yard — a rare find so close to Black Mountain’s community amenities. The 1,330-square-foot floorplan (three bedrooms, one bath) sits on a 0.24-acre parcel with frontage on Blue Ridge Road and a fenced rear/side yard that invites gardening, pets, and backyard gatherings. Recent interior paint and thoughtful upkeep make the home move-in ready while preserving the straightforward, comfortable character of a 1974 bungalow.

Inside, the layout emphasizes usability: baseboard heat throughout, a flexible bonus room that can serve as an office or den, and original details softened by fresh finishes. The single-story arrangement simplifies everyday living and makes the property attractive to first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a rental-ready footprint. Note: the home does not have central cooling, and the roof and HVAC should be verified during inspection as standard due diligence.

Outside, the composition roof covers a brick-and-vinyl exterior that balances low-maintenance durability with curb appeal. Driveway parking accommodates approximately two cars; there is no garage. The lot’s level topography is uncommon in the area and provides room for potential landscaping upgrades or an accessory dwelling unit where zoning permits (TR-4 allows accessory units subject to local rules).

Location is a strong selling point: Veteran’s Park sits just 0.3 miles away, Ingles grocery is about 0.5 miles, downtown Black Mountain’s shops and restaurants are roughly 1.5 miles, and Lake Tomahawk Park is under two miles. With Asheville a 15-mile drive via I-40, residents enjoy both small-town walking access to parks and easy regional connections. Priced at $300,000 following a recent adjustment, this property presents clear value relative to nearby comps and is appealing for buyers seeking a tidy, well-located bungalow with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential.
