Denise Kennihan

Gorgeous, updated home in Old Hope Valley! Huge family room with a wall of windows is located just off the kitchen, which boasts newer appliances and plentiful cabinetry. A sunny breakfast room leads to the deck, screened porch and huge backyard. The main level primary suite features a stunning bath w/ marble galore, zero entry shower, free-standing tub, and access to a large walk-in closet. The spacious dining room with lovely millwork and the private office with French doors are located just off the foyer. The second level offers 3 secondary Bedrooms, all generously sized, each with access to a bathroom (one Jack & Jill) - all with new marble counters and other updates. Don't miss the bonus room with shelving and hardwood floors - this makes a great playroom, office, hang out space. Separate stairs lead to a vaulted ceiling flex space - perfect for a rec room, office or hobby room. The expansive fenced backyard, complete with a tree house & firepit are sure to delight! All so close to the Hope Valley Country Club! Hope Valley Neighborhood Association is not an HOA and has optional/voluntary dues of $50/year (ask agent for more details). Note that the house feels larger than its listed square footage due to an additional ~227 sf of heated/cooled finished space that is less than 5 ft in height; this area is found mostly in the terrific bonus room accessed via separate stairs which serves well as a playroom, rec room, or office!

Sales Manager | Broker | Walnut Cove Realty
I’m the Sales Manager at Walnut Cove Realty and an active broker serving Asheville and Western North Carolina. Walnut Cove Realty is the region’s #1 luxury boutique brokerage, and my experience includes luxury homes, legacy properties, and real estate investments across the market.
I moved to Asheville nine years ago as the General Manager of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, which gave me a deep understanding of luxury communities, land, and what truly drives long-term value. Today, I work with investors, second-home buyers, and full-time residents, bringing a practical, straightforward perspective to every transaction.
I stay closely connected to market trends while remaining directly involved in deals, allowing me to offer clear guidance without the noise.
Outside of real estate, I’m married to a Mission Hospital nurse and am a proud dad to two middle-school daughters. Asheville isn’t just where I work—it’s home.
