A Timeless Residence sitting atop a hill downtown in the Montford Historic District, this classic American Traditional home seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary updates for enduring enjoyment. This property offers a unique balance of privacy and convenience, ideal for those who value proximity to downtown and the ease of leisurely strolls into the city center. Just a 10-minute walk to shopping and restaurants, yet private for everyday living and enjoyment, this home exudes the essence of Historic Asheville with classic updates and is in move-in ready condition. Everyday living is made effortless with private alley access leading directly to the back entry. The studio guest house and an oversized garage sit pretty on the large in-town lot, providing gardening options for the green thumb with a greenhouse and well-planned gardens. Professionally landscaped with controlled irrigation, the grounds are easy to keep and fun to explore. A large storage and potting shed area lies under the front porch (be sure to check it out). A custom stone patio is the perfect place for outdoor entertaining or relaxing by the nearby firepit. Here, you will enter a large family room addition, with walls of windows and a unique vaulted ceiling accent. The family room, currently serving as both a TV lounge and recreation area, features a pool table gifted to the previous owner by Willie Nelson. Notably, the home was once occupied by celebrity Harry Anderson, who maintained a close friendship with Willie Nelson and continued to visit the current owners after his move to another home in Montford. His presence and spirit remain a cherished part of the home's legacy. Step from the inviting family room into the updated kitchen highlighted by southern pine floors blending naturally into the historic nature of the home. The kitchen is equipped with a breakfast bar, wine fridge, subway tile accents, open shelving, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink and a gas range. Adjacent to the kitchen, a convenient pantry and laundry room are complemented by a separate half bath. The main hall opens to formal living and dining rooms, both with original fireplace mantles, one with vented gas logs, plus a bonus space perfect for music or displaying artwork. Custom built-in library shelving accents and a second half bath to accommodate guests, while original heart pine floors add warmth and character throughout most of the home. A vintage butler’s pantry is situated in the main hall along with the staircase leading to the upper-level bedrooms, interior basement access and the primary suite on the main floor. The updated primary ensuite features a steam shower and a meticulously restored antique clawfoot tub. A walk-in closet and original fireplace mantle and hearth complement the suite, merging old-world charm with modern necessities. The upper level includes a full bath and three serene and airy bedrooms, one featuring a cute window seat. The built-in closets and original mantels and hearths create comfortable and stylish retreats. Tucked to the right of the staircase, a surprise awaits: a charming bed nook opening into a spacious enclosed sleeping porch with a built-in daybed and an additional full private bath. The sleeping porch is perfect for use as a craft room or office, while the bed nook and day bed offer cozy accommodations for guests' overflow. The expansive covered front porch is an ideal spot for morning coffee or al fresco dining. The wide front porch steps lead down to the sidewalk where you are then just a short stroll to the vibrant heart of Downtown, with its thriving music scene, great restaurants, boutiques and galleries. This wonderful home is large enough for various sized families albeit perfect for just two. Muted new interior paint upstairs awaits your personal palate while exterior cedar shake blends with the historic in-town setting. Enjoy Asheville living at its best!
