65 Lawson Ridge Rd, Leicester, NC, 28748

What first captures you at 65 Lawson Ridge Rd is the view: roughly 280 degrees of Blue Ridge panoramas that roll past the windows and porch. This Cape Cod–styled home sits on an oversized, private 0.99-acre lot inside the quiet Lawson Ridge community, and the vistas shape the home’s character — from the oversized primary suite upstairs to the family room’s vaulted ceiling and gas fireplace.

Step through a two-story vaulted foyer into a floor plan built for living well and entertaining. The main level balances formal and casual spaces: a gracious dining room for holiday gatherings, a family room with vaulted ceiling and fireplace for cozy evenings, and an open kitchen anchored by a shiplap island. The kitchen was refreshed with a full suite of appliances in 2024 and provides a breakfast nook that faces the views. Practical upgrades enhance long-term comfort — two heat pumps were installed in 2021 and a new roof and skylight were added in 2025.

Upstairs the primary suite is intentionally roomy, positioned to take advantage of sweeping mountain outlooks. The ensuite features double vanities, a soaking tub and a walk-in shower with dual heads, plus a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms are privately situated on the upper level (one benefits from long-range views) alongside a dedicated second-floor laundry for everyday convenience.

Outside, the home continues to invite lingering: a south-facing covered front porch frames the mountains, while a partially covered back deck overlooks the level, fenced backyard — an ideal area for dining al fresco or watching the sky shift over the ridgelines. A firepit area creates a natural gathering spot for cool evenings under the stars. The property includes a two-car garage and purposeful outdoor spaces that feel at once private and expansive.

Set about 10 miles from downtown Asheville, 65 Lawson Ridge delivers a rare combination: mountain serenity with relatively easy access to city amenities. Thoughtful maintenance and recent updates mean a buyer can move in with confidence and immediately enjoy the views, the indoor comfort, and the outdoor life this home offers.

Lawson Ridge offers a quiet, country-residential setting with broad Blue Ridge views while keeping downtown Asheville within a manageable drive (about 10 miles). Residents appreciate the region’s outdoor lifestyle — scenic drives, trails, and access to Asheville’s dining, arts, and cultural scene — combined with the privacy of larger lots and a low-density community. The neighborhood appeals to buyers seeking a mountain retreat that remains well-connected to urban amenities.
