Easy living
Easy living, home by home
Single level
Every room at Laurel Bend sits on one floor. The house is long rather than tall, so nothing is upstairs and nothing is below.
Step-free entry
A flat concrete walk leads to a step-free landing at the front door, and the driveway for two cars runs level to the same spot.
Main-floor bedroom
The bedroom on the main floor has two bright windows. The other two bedrooms are on the same level.
Low-upkeep yard
The front has a modest lawn and mulch beds around the foundation. There is no pool and no irrigation system to look after. Mature hardwoods and pines mean leaves in the fall.
About this home
Laurel Bend Ranch is a long single-story house in Weaverville, just north of Asheville, listed at $489,000. It has three bedrooms, two and a half baths and 1,640 square feet on 0.31 acres. It was built in 1964 and fully renovated in 2023, including a new roof and new windows.
The front is white painted brick with black shutters, a black door with a glass top and a lantern beside it. Inside, the floors are light oak-look planks and the walls are white. The living room has a high ceiling and a wall of windows. The house is open this Saturday, and Walt Brenner will be there.
What is in the home
- Three bedrooms and two and a half baths, 1,640 square feet
- White painted brick front with black shutters
- New roof and new windows, both done in 2023
- Living room with a high ceiling and a wall of windows
- Breakfast nook with a round table and a window bench with storage cubbies

Costs to plan for
- HOA: none. There are no association dues or rules to read through.
- Property taxes: about $2,900 a year at the current assessment, and Buncombe County may reassess after a sale.
- Utilities: the new windows should help with heating bills, and we can share the last twelve months of bills from the sellers.
- Insurance: a renovated 1964 house is priced by roof, wiring and plumbing age, so ask us for the permit records and we will request a quote before you offer.
Weaverville, near Asheville
Weaverville is a small town about a ten to fifteen minute drive north of Asheville. Main Street has a few restaurants, a bakery and a hardware store, and you can reach the larger shops and hospitals in Asheville in about twenty minutes. The lot is big enough for privacy, with a back garden that has a stepping-stone path to the deck. Note that the stepping stones are uneven, so ask Walt about a firmer path if you want one.
