About This Property

Nestled in the heart of Asheville’s Montford neighborhood, this rare urban oasis offers a masterclass in versatile, sustainable living. Situated on an expansive, 1/3 of an acre with level rear yard, the property is a lush sanctuary that seamlessly blends 1940's charm with modern, eco-conscious upgrades. From the moment you step onto the property, you are greeted by the timeless beauty of historic rock walls that terrace the landscape, creating a sense of permanence and storied elegance.

|

The main residence features a bright and airy 2 bedroom, 1 bath layout on the upper level, where the crown jewel is undoubtedly the oversized main deck. From this elevated vantage point, you can enjoy views of the French Broad River, providing a serene backdrop for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. The home’s footprint is maximized by a fully independent 1 bedroom, 1 bath basement apartment, perfect for long-term tenants, guests, or a seamless multi-generational living arrangement. Adding even more value is the detached studio cottage, offering a private, quiet space that serves beautifully as a professional home office, an artist’s retreat, or an additional rental opportunity.

Sustainability is at the core of this property’s design. The home is equipped with solar panels to offset energy costs and a natural gas on-demand hot water heater for maximum efficiency. The grounds themselves are a testament to "edible landscaping," featuring peach trees and established blueberry bushes. For those dreaming of a self-sufficient lifestyle, the property features a chicken coop under one of the most enchanting features on-site: a whimsical treehouse. Accessible via an adventurous swinging bridge, the treehouse adds a touch of pure mountain magic that captures the imagination of people of all ages.
