18 Carjen Avenue Walk around the corner from this beautifully renovated, one-level ranch home, and you'll find yourself at Beaver Lake, with its scenic walking trails. Tucked away on a fantastic, quiet street in one of North Asheville's most desirable areas, morning and evening strolls are a delight in this imminently walkable neighborhood. Designed for easy, one-level living and effortless entertaining, the home features a sprawling front porch-perfect for morning coffee-and a huge back patio, complete with an outdoor fireplace and ideal for hosting or relaxing year-round. The completely flat, fully fenced backyard with mature landscaping is bright, sunny and spacious-perfect for gardening enthusiasts. (And the rose bushes are about to bloom!) Inside, the large chef's kitchen offers granite counters, a five-burner gas range with pot filler, open shelving, and a sizable pantry. The primary bedroom has an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and a walk in closet. Additional highlights include a versatile, powered outbuilding (installed Summer 2024), ready to be finished. This space would be ideal for extra living space, a home office, a media room, a hobby/creative studio-or an ADU (buyer to verify). More of the home's features include hardwood floors, modern light fixtures, thoughtful updates throughout, and a one-car garage with an epoxy floor. Major improvements include a new roof, gutters, all-new exterior paint, and fencing (2024), along with fresh interior paint throughout (April 2026), a 2022 HVAC system, a 2021 asphalt driveway, an 220V electric car-charging station, and more. Location is key here-only 5 minutes to the YMCA, Scorch Fitness, The Shops at Reynolds Village, and grocery stores (Ingles and Fresh Market); less than 10 minutes to downtown Asheville. This home offers a rare combination of convenience, charm, livability and walkability. No flooding during Helene.
