Hardwood floors span most of the main level, leading into a stunning open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space highlighted by soaring ceilings and lots of windows that flood the home with natural light. The chef’s kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, featuring a 6-burner Viking gas range with hood, granite countertops, and a showstopping custom end-grain walnut island top.

Walk to everything that makes Asheville iconic — then come home to a brand-new residence built to the highest standard. This rare Kenilworth new build places you steps from Mission Hospital, The Dripolator, Appalachian Vintner, Hi-Wire Brewing, Biltmore Village, and the energy of Asheville's celebrated South Slope. Few addresses in the city offer this kind of walkable access to healthcare, craft beer culture, local wine, and independent coffee — all without sacrificing the quiet, tree-lined character of one of Asheville's most beloved neighborhoods. Inside, the home is designed to match the lifestyle outside. Sunlit interiors open to a soaring vaulted great room anchored by a gas fireplace and grounded by rich oak hardwood floors. The chef's kitchen is built for people who actually cook — honed granite countertops, a 36" gas range, oversized island, and a walk-in pantry that keeps everything organized and out of sight. Morning coffee tastes better when you know The Dripolator is a short stroll away, but this kitchen will give you a reason to linger. The main-level primary suite is a genuine retreat: spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, walk-in tile shower, dual vanity, and an expansive closet that finally has room for everything. Multiple porches and a full-length lower deck extend the living space outdoors — ideal for Asheville's four-season climate, morning mist, and legendary fall color. The walk-out lower level functions as a home within a home. A family room with a wet bar, two private guest suites, a full bath, and a conditioned flex space ready for a home gym, art studio, or office round out a floor plan that adapts to how you actually live. Why this location wins: Kenilworth is one of Asheville's most walkable in-town neighborhoods, and this address sits at its best intersection — close enough to Biltmore Village's boutiques and galleries, the South Slope's nationally recognized craft brewery scene, and Mission Hospital for healthcare professionals seeking a true walk-to-work lifestyle. Asheville real estate rarely offers new construction at this quality in a neighborhood this connected. This is not a house that asks you to choose between a beautiful home and a vibrant life. At 110 Unadilla, you get both.
