13 Norton Drive

Welcome to this charming 1925 bungalow with tasteful updates, a great location, and a rare grandfathered-in short-term rental permit! Whether you’re looking for a turnkey investment, a primary home, or a cozy part time retreat, this property offers a combination of flexibility, location, and character that’s hard to find.<br />Ideally located just 5 minutes to downtown Asheville and 10 minutes to Weaverville, this home sits in a quiet neighborhood perched above the French Broad River, untouched by Hurricane Helene. You’ll love being close to Silverline Park, the upcoming “Wave” surf park project, and the future greenway that will connect this area to another 20+ miles of urban paths.<br />Inside, this single-level home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath with over 1,000 square feet of comfortable living space. The quaint living room flows into the updated kitchen and dining areas, creating a warm and inviting feel. There's even plenty of storage in the mudroom! Hardwood and tile floors, and fresh finishes, add charm and function.<br />Recent upgrades in the last few years include a newer metal roof and an encapsulated crawl space—providing both efficiency and peace of mind. The home features central heating and cooling plus ceiling fans for year-round comfort.<br />Outside, enjoy a large front porch, along with a level easy to maintain lot, a private back sitting area, and 4 off-street parking spots. <br />The property's short term rental permit makes this home an especially rare find within Woodfin, right outside of downtown Asheville. This transferable status allows for continued short-term rental use—something no longer available in most of the area—adding valuable flexibility for investors or part-time residents! Furnishings can be sold with the property and are negotiable!! <br />With its unbeatable location, thoughtful updates, and income potential, this home offers the perfect balance of lifestyle and opportunity. Act soon to own a piece of Asheville’s best affordable home!
