Discover the potential of this spacious ranch-style home on 1.88 acres in Candler, just minutes outside of Asheville. This three bedroom home features an additional flex-space room that was traditionally used as a additional bedroom, and four baths across nearly 2,000 sq ft of living space. The main level showcases hardwood floors, light-filled living areas, and three baths. A full basement provides a 2-car garage plus 1,200 sq ft of unfinished space for storage, workshop, or future expansion, plus an additional bath.
