Property Description
The Residence
Inside this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, classic hardwood floors and abundant natural light create an inviting, timeless atmosphere. Recent refreshes have modernized the home's key spaces:
Updated Kitchen: Freshly painted with a new ceiling, modern fixtures, and a brand-new Whirlpool electric range.
Refined Bathrooms: A refreshed main bath featuring a new countertop and contemporary finishes.
New Appliances: A high-end Maytag washer and dryer set completes the home's essentials.
Versatile Bonus Space
A standout feature is the conditioned basement suite. With its own separate exterior entrance and sliding glass doors, this finished space—equipped with HVAC and a half bath—is ideal for a private home office, creative studio, or guest retreat.
High-Performance Upgrades
The owners have prioritized the home's health and efficiency with significant "behind-the-scenes" investments:
2022 Energy Overhaul: Full attic air-sealing, dense-packed cellulose insulation in second-floor walls, and full crawl-space encapsulation.
Modern Systems: A high-efficiency tankless water heater for endless on-demand hot water.
Certified Air Quality: Professional testing in 2024 confirmed excellent indoor air quality, offering total peace of mind for every level of the home.
A Private Native Sanctuary
The backyard has been professionally transformed into a Native Pollinator Garden. Featuring over 50 species—including Echinacea, Butterfly Weed, and Pink Muhly grass—the landscape offers season-long blooms and a vital habitat for local birds and butterflies.
Privacy: Fast-growing Green Giant arborvitae and Skip Laurels provide a dense, evergreen screen for the spacious 1.25-acre property.
Whimsical Play: A custom-built staircase leads down the slope to a ~16-foot slide integrated into the hillside—a unique feature for family and friends to enjoy.
The Location
Living at the edge of the Forest means the best of Asheville is just moments away. You are perfectly positioned for a quick commute to Downtown Asheville, easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and minutes from the historic Biltmore Estate. Enjoy the character and top-tier schools of this area in a home that offers both modern efficiency and an incredible location.
1 Ridgefield Place is a rare find—a healthy, updated home offering a manageable entry into a top-tier neighborhood.
