About This Home

Stop scrolling—this is the one buyers wait for and then regret missing. Welcome to 15 Kent Street, a fully reimagined home in the heart of South Asheville, just moments from the charm and energy of Biltmore Village. This home has been thoughtfully renovated, blending modern finishes with flexible living space that today’s buyers are searching for—and rarely finding. Step inside and feel the difference immediately. Fresh interior and exterior paint, brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, and a completely updated kitchen featuring a new appliance package create a clean, move-in-ready experience that feels both stylish and effortless. This isn’t a project—it’s a fresh start. With 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, this home delivers serious space and versatility. The main level offers a seamless flow with a family room anchored by a cozy fireplace, a separate living room, dining area, sunroom filled with natural light, and a beautifully updated kitchen. Three bedrooms and two full baths—including a convenient main-level laundry—make everyday living easy and functional. Downstairs is where opportunity really opens up. A spacious recreation room with its own fireplace sets the tone for entertaining or relaxing, while two additional bedrooms, a full bath, office space, and separate laundry create the perfect setup for multi-generational living, guests, or income potential. Whether you’re looking to offset your mortgage or maximize returns, this layout gives you options. Outside, the property continues to impress. A beautiful lot offers space, privacy, and even potential for an additional ADU (buyer to confirm with city planning)—a rare and valuable opportunity in this location. New garage doors and a brand-new roof add peace of mind and long-term value. Location? It’s exactly where you want to be. Minutes from dining, shopping, and culture, with quick access to everything Asheville has to offer. Enjoy nearby parks and walking paths, or take a short drive into the vibrant downtown scene. Homes with this level of finish, flexibility, and location don’t last—especially when they offer multiple income stream potential and true turnkey living. If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity in South Asheville… this is it.
