31 Central Avenue W

Stunning, like-new 3 BR/3.5 BA home—with a permitted, income-producing homestay or extra bedroom in the lower level—is conveniently located on the west side of Asheville, minutes to Haywood Road and less than 5 miles to downtown. Thoughtfully designed with a smart open plan and beautiful finishes throughout, this home features gleaming bamboo floors and abundant natural light. The main level offers a layout perfect for entertaining or everyday living, with a spacious kitchen anchored by a large center island and counter seating, a flow that leads effortlessly into the dining and living areas, and to a cozy, peaceful screened porch that overlooks the fully fenced backyard. Upstairs, the serene primary suite provides a true retreat that includes a spa-like bathroom with heated floors and an oversized walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level. The lower level has a private entrance, additional living area, and a full bathroom, making it ideal for guests, teenagers, media space, or use as a permitted homestay—a rare and valuable opportunity in Asheville. Alternatively, you could buy this property as an investment and rent two separate units long term! Enjoy the outdoors from the fantastic screened porch overlooking the fully fenced backyard, complete with a fire pit for relaxing evenings. Additional outdoor spaces include two Trex® decks—one main on the main level; one on the lower—and a covered, lower-level patio. The large, private lot provides a peaceful setting close to everything West Asheville has to offer. Additional features include excellent storage in the garage and outbuilding, a radon mitigation system, and easy parking with pass-through access to a private road for a convenient exit (or for guest parking). NOTE: Survey reflects 0.552 acreage. Due to the 30-foot right-of-way along Central Avenue and an easement at the back of property that gives access to the five lots on the original plat, both the tax records and GIS reflect a 0.27-acre lot.
