Property Description
Set back from the street and shaded by an enchanting oak tree, this storybook 100-year-old cottage offers rare privacy in the heart of North Asheville. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its historic character, this home is perfect for those seeking modern comfort without compromising charm or location. At the heart of the home, an open-concept living space showcases vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a cozy gas fireplace enjoyed from the office, dining area, and kitchen alike. The beautifully updated kitchen features a brand-new oven, vibrant custom tilework, generous counter space, and a large pantry—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Just outside, a spacious deck invites effortless al fresco dining. Designed for easy main-level living, the expansive owner’s suite includes a private porch, three closets, a dedicated laundry room, and a luxurious clawfoot tub accented with brass hardware. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath feel warm and inviting, filled with original details including hardwood floors, substantial millwork, and charming storybook windows. Outside, gardeners will appreciate the backyard vegetable garden, producing fig tree and raspberry crops, and sunny front yard, while pets can roam safely within the brand-new picket fence. Additional conveniences include multiple parking spaces, basement storage with a sump pump, and a newer HVAC system installed in 2023. Enjoy the best of in-town living with exceptional privacy—just a short walk to Merrimon Avenue’s restaurants and shops, and only minutes from Beaver Lake and vibrant downtown Asheville.
