Located in the charming and coveted Straus Park, this luxury condominium is the perfect example of convenient mountain living. Sitting at an elevated spot on Ridgetop Circle, Unit 202 features a covered, zero-step entry and all primary living spaces on the main level. Upon entering, you are greeted by a formal dining room with built-in shelving and cabinetry to your right—this space could also serve as a home office. From there, the layout flows naturally into the kitchen with updated appliances and leads to the two-story great room with a gas fireplace and access to the covered back porch. The primary suite features a built-in wall unit in the bedroom, abundant closet space, and a bathroom with a dual vanity, soaking tub, shower, and water closet. Also on the main level, you will find additional closet space, a powder room, a mud room with a washer, dryer, sink, and cabinets, and access to the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, you will find two spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom, storage, and access to the attic. The Master Association and Condominium Association manage exterior maintenance and recently completed regular roof maintenance. Spanning over 300 acres, Straus Park tastefully integrates custom-built homes, mountain cottages, townhomes designed by notable architects, luxury condominiums, dedicated recreational spaces, and structured commercial districts. Residents enjoy an array of community amenities, including the lake, boat storage, outdoor pool, tennis courts, lake house, outdoor grill, fire pit, garden, trails, and green belt. The two commercial districts provide residents and the public with an organic market and cafe, as well as professional services such as banking, dental, veterinary, and more. Once home to one of the oldest mountain summer camps for boys and later a private recreational park for Ecusta Paper Mill employees and their families, this 300+ acre property has been thoughtfully transformed into a master-planned community developed by William McKee in 1997. Outside of Straus Park, in-town conveniences and outdoor recreation are just moments away. The Brevard Bike Path, Blue Ridge Community College, and medical services, including Transylvania Regional Hospital, are directly across the street. Continuing into Brevard, you will find Brevard College, downtown Brevard, Brevard Music Center, and Bracken Preserve within two to three miles. Heading north toward Pisgah Forest, just three miles away is easy access to the entrance of Pisgah National Forest, Asheville, and Hendersonville. Unit 202 is perfect as a full-time residence or a seasonal mountain getaway. Please check out the floor plan, virtual tour, and highlight video. Schedule your showing today!
