90 Palmer Ford Rd, Weaverville, NC 28787

This lovingly maintained 1922 cottage at 90 Palmer Ford Rd combines classic character with practical, modern comforts. At about 960 square feet, the home feels larger than its footprint thanks to vaulted ceilings in the living room and primary bedroom. Bamboo flooring runs through the main living areas and ties together a layout designed for easy daily living: a comfortable living room, a straightforward kitchen with a gas range, and two cozy bedrooms plus 1.5 baths. Pocket doors add vintage detail and efficient space separation.

Outdoor living is a standout: a covered front porch welcomes you in, while a large back patio extends entertaining space into a private, maturely landscaped yard that measures just under 0.6 acres. The yard has room for gardening, small-scale landscaping projects, or simply quiet, low-maintenance enjoyment. Practical site features include a detached shed for storage and a covered carport with driveway parking—no attached garage, but ample covered and uncovered spaces.

Mechanical systems are sensible and efficient: a heat-pump system provides heating and cooling, and the house sits on well water with a septic system in place. The home has been cared for and feels move-in ready for an owner who values character and low-maintenance living, or as a small-house rental targeted to professionals seeking proximity to Asheville.

Location is a major benefit: this property sits in the Jupiter area of Weaverville, roughly a 20-minute drive to downtown Asheville while placing you a few minutes from the shops, cafes, and services of Weaverville. If you want a compact, character-driven home without sacrificing outdoor space or regional access to hiking and outdoor recreation, this cottage delivers.

Schedule a viewing with listing agent Allyson Nanney (828-280-7825) — buyers should confirm septic and well certifications as part of due diligence.
