Every time you come home, you’re entering your own sanctuary. Welcome to 115 Laurel Wood Ave., a place where the mountains are part of everyday life and good design never needs to call attention to itself. Surrounded by woods, this beautifully maintained home reflects a distinctly Appalachian sensibility: quality materials, practical design, natural beauty, and a strong connection to the landscape. There is nothing ostentatious here—just classic good looks and a feeling of calm that comes from living thoughtfully and simply. Throughout the day and across the seasons, the house fills with changing mountain light and remarkable color. Winter brings some of the area’s most beautiful and expansive long-range mountain views, while the home’s passive solar design and two Jotul stoves help keep it warm and comfortable without ever feeling closed in. Energy efficiency is another quiet strength. Photovoltaic solar panels, passive solar, and a tankless water heater contribute to low power bills. In warmer months, the home often needs little cooling, allowing you to take full advantage of the fresh mountain air and changing seasons. A 15-minute walk takes you to the Bailey Mountain Preserve trailhead, where miles of trails lead through the forest to expansive mountain views. The town’s greenway is just minutes away, while Hatley Pointe’s ski slopes and bike trails, area rafting outfitters, and the Appalachian Trail are all within easy reach. But Madison County offers more than scenery. It is a place with a strong sense of community and an enduring connection to music, craft, agriculture, and the land. Seasonal festivals bring local musicians, makers, and neighbors together. Mars Hill University adds an unexpected cultural depth, with visiting performers, speakers, and programs throughout the year. Independent shops and, a well-stocked grocery store, and quality medical services make day-to-day life easy without sacrificing the character of a small mountain community. And Asheville is close enough for an evening out, a concert, or the amenities of a larger city, yet far enough away that returning home feels like a change of pace. Here, mountain living is not a backdrop—it is a way of life. It’s quieter, more connected, and rooted in a place with a character all its own.

Welcome to Laurelwood. This desirable location doesn't come up often! The premier end unit condo in downtown West Asheville. This unit is arguably the most updated unit in the neighborhood. Extra windows in primary bedroom and living room give tons of light, with Low E Thermal rated glass. Upstairs loft and attic have added mini split systems to make them usable year round. All bathrooms and kitchen have been updated with tiles and new fixtures. All major systems, heat pump, gas furnace, gas hot water heater, and gas logs all replaced. Exterior doors replaced with custom Anderson doors and glass inserts. Entire unit has been recently painted. So much storage on each level. In winter enjoy the fireplace or outdoor fire pit. Outdoor usable space is all around also. Beautifully landscaped side yard patio and fire pit, covered back porch with views, even the carport area updated as well for entertaining. Or go lounge by the recently re-surfaced deep swimming pool. The only bad news is that Laurelwood lost several trees to the storm, but the good news is we now have nice winter mountain views and our pet friendly walking trail around the entire property is fully functional. Reasonable HOA fee covers all outside landscaping maintenance, painting, roofs, lighting, pool, and road maintenance.
