5 WHITE AVENUE DESIGNED FOR THE WAY YOU LIVE
WHERE YOUR STORY FEELS AT HOME Built in the 1920s and thoughtfully restored, this cottage keeps everything that made it charming and rebuilds everything that makes a home last. The work begins below the surface, with new framing, floor joists, and systems throughout, and ends with a kitchen in quartz, marble-look tile, and matte black, finished by a farmhouse sink. Mornings start on the rocking-chair porch, light fills the rooms through oversized windows, and evenings move out to the stained deck and flagstone patio in a level, freshly graded backyard. All of it sits on a flat third of an acre inside city limits, minutes from Biltmore Village, with RS-8 zoning that may leave room for what comes next. 2 bed / 1 bath / 840 square feet
