About This Home

Nestled in the Haw Creek Valley, below the Blue Ridge Parkway and Town Mountain Road, Sondley Estates provides the convenience of the city, natural beauty of the mountains, and quiet walkability of a suburban neighborhood. Located only 10 minutes from downtown, minutes from restaurants, shops, schools, east AVL pool, M2S trailhead, and other Haw Creek gathering spots. 305 E Sondley Drive’s mature trees, creek, stonework landscaping, and flat yard provide a park-like setting, while the two back decks offer the perfect location to entertain or relax. Inside, the home has a balanced layout with open living spaces and thoughtful separation between primary bedroom locations. Vaulted ceilings and skylights fill the house with natural light, while the canopy of the surrounding trees provide a break from the summer heat. Open any of the windows on the back side of the house and enjoy the sounds of the creek cascading below. This home offers a unique blend of nature, convenience, neighborhood, and community.
