Property Description

A quintessential early-1900s Montford Arts & Crafts/Craftsman, rich with character and timeless appeal. Located on one of Montford's original brick streets, it's perfectly walkable to Montford’s beloved restaurants—and so close to one of them, All Day Darling, you may never need to brew your own coffee again! Lovingly cared for with a new roof/gutters, brand new heat pump and recent updates, this home is thoughtfully configured as two completely separate living units, or easily enjoyed as a single-family residence by simply opening only ONE door. With minimal modification, the layout offers exciting possibilities: 1) live comfortably in the three-bedroom main residence while renting out the lower-level one-bedroom unit to help cover your mortgage, 2) enjoy a flexible multigenerational living arrangement or 3) remove one wall to create a glorious, oversized kitchen that opens to a comfortable covered back porch and a spacious, fully fenced back yard beyond for single family living. OPTIONS! This true turn-of-the-century gem features classic Craftsman cedar shake accents, tall ceilings and a large covered front porch, perfect for lingering afternoons. Each unit enjoys its own outdoor living space and entrance, and the generous driveway accommodates multiple vehicles. True to Montford's historic fabric, this home embodies the enduring appeal of turn of the century craftsmanship--substantial, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to stand the test of time! Large windows flood the home with natural light while framing both mountain and city views. With historic charm, warmth & character, but with modern flexibility and an unbeatable Montford location, easily walkable to downtown AVL, this home TRULY has it ALL!
