101 Olney Road

In 1922, when West Asheville was still finding its footing, a craftsman built a bungalow on Olney Road. He paid attention to the woodwork, to the way light moved through the rooms, to the porch where a swing would catch the evening breeze. A hundred years later, that same bungalow still stands, and the care that went into it hasn't faded, it's deepened.

The porch became screened in, the gardens around the home have grown into something lush and private, wrapping the property in a green embrace that makes you forget you're in the city. The tiered deck creates multiple spaces to sit, breathe, and stay a while. The fully fenced backyard is an invitation to let life happen outdoors.

Somewhere along the way, a second home was added not an afterthought, but a labor of love. A custom guest cottage was tucked onto the south side of the property, complete with a full kitchen, loft, heated floors, laundry room, and a spa-like bathroom. It's the kind of space that makes you want to write a book, host your dearest friends, or collect a generous rental income.

Maybe all three. Inside the main home, the kitchen was built for gathering. The primary bedroom features vaulted ceilings that turn ordinary evenings into something worth savoring.

Custom woodworking runs throughout, a quiet reminder that someone cared enough to do things right the first time. On cool Winter evenings, the wood-burning fireplace in the spacious parlor glows with warmth. Today, this 1922 bungalow sits a few short blocks from Haywood Road where farm-to-table restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and live music have turned West Asheville into one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the city.

Or take a short 10 minute ride to the heart of downtown Asheville and the River Arts district. No HOA. Pre-inspected and ready for its next chapter.
