Property Description
Inside this inviting 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, classic hardwood floors and abundant natural light create warm, welcoming spaces. Recent updates refresh the heart of the home: a freshly painted kitchen with new ceiling, modern light fixtures, updated faucet, plus a main bathroom refreshed with a new ceiling and countertop. Brand-new Maytag washer and dryer join a matching Whirlpool electric range, delivering a clean, contemporary appliance suite.
Owners completed significant professional energy upgrades in 2022, including dense-packed cellulose insulation in the second-floor exterior walls, thorough attic air-sealing, knee-wall insulation, vaulted-ceiling baffles, raised attic storage, and full crawl-space encapsulation. A high-efficiency tankless water heater ensures endless on-demand hot water. Certified professional air-quality and mold testing in April 2024 confirmed no airborne mold issues, with indoor levels matching outdoor controls—providing excellent peace of mind for the upstairs, living areas, and basement.
A standout feature is the conditioned basement home office and a half bathroom, converted with finished surfaces, HVAC, lighting, and its own sliding glass door with separate exterior entrance—ideal for remote work, a studio, or guest space.
The private backyard shines as a true sanctuary. A professionally designed native pollinator garden by Creative Native Gardens features over 50 pollinator-friendly species—Echinacea, butterfly weed, black-eyed Susan, Joe Pye weed, goldenrods, hydrangeas, inkberry, Pink Muhly grass, Little Bluestem, ferns, and more—delivering season-long blooms and vital habitat for bees, butterflies, and birds. The spacious backyard is enhanced by 6 fast-growing Green Giant arborvitae and 6 dense Skip Laurels for privacy and four-season greenery. A built staircase leads down the slope to a fun, integrated ~16-foot slide nestled into the hillside, creating a delightful play feature for family and friends.
This prime Biltmore Forest location delivers the best of both worlds: direct access to the energy of Hendersonville Road and seamless entry into the neighborhood's serene interior. You're close to the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway for mountain drives and hikes, the historic Biltmore Estate, and the vibrant restaurants, breweries, arts scene, and festivals of Downtown Asheville. Enjoy tree-lined streets, a strong sense of community, excellent schools, and effortless access to outdoor adventures and daily conveniences.
With its timeless charm, proven energy and health-focused improvements, custom eco-friendly landscape, and unbeatable location, 1 Ridgefield Place is a rare find in Biltmore Forest—ready to welcome your next chapter in the heart of the mountains.
