Price Reduced ListingExcellent Opportunity in Swannanoa! Whether you're looking for a home with built-in income potential or a savvy investment property, this versatile duplex fits the bill. Tucked into a peaceful country setting just minutes from Warren Wilson College, scenic trails, and community parks-and only 12 minutes to both downtown Black Mountain and Asheville-the location blends convenience with charm. The updated upper-level unit offers a bright 1-bedroom, 1-bath studio layout with a cozy living area, a charming kitchen, and a private balcony off the bedroom (furniture can stay!). The lower-level unit, newly renovated and roughly twice the size of the upper, features a spacious bedroom and sitting area, a well-appointed eat-in kitchen, an office nook, and an updated bathroom. Both units share a convenient laundry area with exterior access, and storage is abundant: a large two-story shed beside the home, a smaller backyard shed, and an attached storage area on the lower level. This is a great setup for house hacking-live in one unit and rent the other to offset your mortgage-or keep both units rented for pure investment income. Prefer a single-family layout instead?
