18 Carjen Avenue

Walk around the corner from this beautifully renovated, one-level ranch home, and you’ll find yourself at Beaver Lake, with its scenic walking trails. Tucked away on a fantastic, quiet street in one of North Asheville’s most desirable areas, morning and evening strolls are a delight in this imminently walkable neighborhood.

Designed for easy, one-level living and effortless entertaining, the home features a sprawling front porch—perfect for morning coffee—and a huge back patio, complete with an outdoor fireplace and ideal for hosting or relaxing year-round. The completely flat, fully fenced backyard with mature landscaping is bright, sunny and spacious—perfect for gardening enthusiasts. (And the rose bushes are about to bloom!)

Inside, the large chef’s kitchen offers granite counters, a five-burner gas range with pot filler, open shelving, and a sizable pantry. The primary bedroom has an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and a walk in closet. Additional highlights include a versatile, powered outbuilding (installed Summer 2024), ready to be finished. This space would be ideal for extra living space, a home office, a media room, a hobby/creative studio—or an ADU (buyer to verify).

More of the home’s features include hardwood floors, modern light fixtures, thoughtful updates throughout, and a one-car garage with an epoxy floor.

Major improvements include a new roof, gutters, all-new exterior paint, and fencing (2024), along with fresh interior paint throughout (April 2026), a 2022 HVAC system, a 2021 asphalt driveway, an 220V electric car-charging station, and more.

Location is key here—only 5 minutes to the YMCA, Scorch Fitness, The Shops at Reynolds Village, and grocery stores (Ingles and Fresh Market); less than 10 minutes to downtown Asheville. This home offers a rare combination of convenience, charm, livability and walkability. No flooding during Helene.
