5 Carter View Ln Arden, NC 28704

Rare opportunity for experienced investors and renovators ready to unlock serious value in a prime South Asheville location. Originally built in 2002 and sold only once — as a brand new home — this single-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath property sits on a generous 0.68-acre corner lot just off Mills Gap Road and is hitting the market for the first time in over two decades. The bones are solid and the floor plan is compelling: 1,805 square feet of single-level living with a cathedral ceiling in the living room, tray ceiling in the primary suite, large eat-in kitchen with a walk-in pantry, ample closet space throughout, and a 2-car attached garage. Outside, a level, fenced backyard with shed, covered front porch, and a large corner lot with significant upside once the landscaping is addressed.
This property requires substantial renovation — including plumbing, interior finishes, and landscaping — and is priced accordingly. It is being sold strictly as-is. Buyers should conduct thorough due diligence and come prepared for a full renovation scope. For the right investor, the fundamentals here are hard to find at this price point: single-level layout, 2-car garage, nearly three-quarters of an acre, and a location with strong long-term value. The potential is real — it just takes vision and the willingness to do the work. Proof of funds or lender letter required with all offers. Please see agent remarks for offer instructions.
