Description

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!! That's right, you have a unique opportunity to stay in this beautiful home to see if it would be a good fit before purchasing. Make sure to ask the agent for details. This gorgeous Victorian home blends historical elegance with modern updates right in the heart of downtown Asheville. Unwind after the day by relaxing on the porch or planting in the beautiful Victorian Garden. The lush, wooded backyard serves as a private retreat, featuring cozy sitting areas and a soothing hot tub. Inside, the home showcases exquisite classic period details, such as stunning staircases, hardwood floors, and several vintage coal grate fireplaces. This residence artfully merges the sophistication of a historical gem with contemporary improvements. The kitchen features a spacious island, stainless steel appliances, and a large pantry, seamlessly connecting to a generous living room and dining area, accentuated by a magnificent wall of windows. This property offers a fantastic business opportunity, as both the upstairs and downstairs have been successfully operated as Homestays and AirBnbs. The home also includes a parlor, a sitting room, and multiple dining and living spaces. The outdoor areas have everything you could ask for including several seating areas and porches, a tranquil backyard, and a gorgeous garden. Located in a prime area, surrounded by restaurants, art galleries, shopping, music venues, and breweries, you can immerse yourself in Asheville's culture. If you're looking for a stunning home filled with character while enjoying modern conveniences, be sure to schedule your appointment today.
