It’s Friday and you’re ready to play all weekend. Your Saturdays now belong to the trails, the river, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the community pool. Why? Because you just found this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, two-story townhome in The Village at Bradley Branch. It gives you more time to relax and play, with less to maintain. On a cool evening, the gas fireplace makes the living room the place to be. A half bath on the main level is convenient for guests. Upstairs, the primary suite sits apart from the other two bedrooms for privacy. It has double closets, windows that let the sunshine in, and an ensuite full bath with a tub for a long soak at the end of the day. The clean one-car garage keeps your car out of the weather. The community amenities are a serious bonus: an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and a clubhouse with a full kitchen for hosting a birthday dinner, a game-day gathering, or a holiday party when you need more room. The neighborhood is pleasant for walking and getting in your steps, and pets are welcome under the HOA guidelines. The location is the best feature of all. The home sits at a major economic hub for South Buncombe County, close to the industrial, manufacturing, and commercial corridors along Airport Road, I-26, and Asheville Regional Airport. Significant employers within about 5 miles include Eaton, RTX (Pratt & Whitney), BorgWarner, Sierra Nevada Brewing, Buncombe County Schools, and the airport itself. You are about a mile from I-26 at Exit 40. Work from home? Two coffee shops are within 3 minutes. Walmart, grocery stores, restaurants, fast food, the post office, and coffee shops are close by. Downtown Asheville is an easy drive. Short-term rentals are not allowed. Room to live, less to maintain, and everything close. Welcome to 5 Lilac Fields Way, Arden.
