9 Von Ruck Terrace, Asheville, NC 28801

Step down the quiet cul-de-sac and you’ll find a beloved North Asheville stone cottage that balances original character and thoughtful modern updates. Sunlight pours through kitchen windows each morning, warming the new hardwood floors and bouncing off the stone hearth of the original wood-burning fireplace — a gentle centerpiece for cozy evenings. The kitchen, recently renovated, opens to a roomy living area, creating an easy flow for weekday mornings and weekend gatherings.

Outside, the addition of a generous 20’x20’ screened porch with durable Trex decking (added in 2020) extends the living space into the landscape, where the sloped 0.28-acre lot affords privacy uncommon this close to town. Imagine late-summer dinners where the mountain breeze moves through the screened porch, or a quiet fall morning with a coffee and the scent of leaf mulch carried in from the yard. A partially finished basement offers flexible space for a home office, studio, or media room.

Thoughtful systems updates reduce near-term maintenance worries: new hardwood floors and a newer roof (noted in 2020), central AC, and efficient forced-air natural gas heating. The stone-and-vinyl construction blends durable, low-maintenance materials with the storied curb appeal of a mid-century Asheville bungalow. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths across a well-laid out 1,820 square feet, the home fits both growing households and those seeking comfortable single-level living with occasional lower-level space.

Location is part of the lifestyle here — a short walk (approximately 0.2 miles) brings you to Charlotte Street’s cluster of restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques; the Grove Park Inn and its golf and spa amenities sit about 0.5 miles away, and downtown Asheville is roughly 1 mile. Park, garden, and trail access — including Weaver Park and the Botanical Gardens at Asheville — are all within easy reach. This is a rare combination: a peaceful cul-de-sac setting with immediate access to urban conveniences and cultural amenities.

North Asheville blends a small-town feel with big-city conveniences. Charlotte Street’s independent restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques are an easy stroll away; cultural and recreational anchors like the Grove Park Inn, Weaver Park, and the Botanical Gardens create year-round activity. The neighborhood attracts professionals and retirees drawn to walkability, mature tree-lined streets, and quick access to downtown Asheville. Community events, neighborhood strolls, and proximity to green spaces define daily life here — a balanced mix of relaxed residential living and vibrant urban access.
