(Ryan Theede Photography) Welcome to the lake house! One of North Asheville’s best kept secrets is ready and waiting for you. Thoughtfully updated and lovingly cared for by the current owner, this home receives abundant natural light and is situated so that the sparkling, spring-fed lake is the first thing you’ll see upon waking each morning from two of the three bedrooms, as well as from the kitchen, family room and of course the expansive deck built primarily with IPE (Brazilian Walnut) and cable railing. Watch ducks paddling across the water from the kitchen window while enjoying your morning coffee, or head out onto the deck to soak up some sun and breathe the fresh mountain air. Later on, head down to the trail just on the other side of the fenced back yard for a stroll around the 3 1\/2 acre lake which is fully stocked for fishing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
